Love Over is a 2015 religious movie from Thailand, first broadcasted on the Dharma Meditation Channel (DMC), intended to educate its viewers on the Law of Karma, and the consequences of not upholding good karma.

It tells the story of a teenage girl, Jetima Tunhaluck, as she gets into sexual hijinks with a popular eleventh grader nicknamed "Book". As a result of him impregnating her, as well as Jetima acting sexually unfaithful and performing an abortion, she is sent to Naraka (the Buddhist equivalent of Hell) after she dies from internal hemoraging from said abortion.

Love Over contains examples of:

  • Abortion Fallout Drama: Much of the conflicts in the movie's story are caused because Jetima decides to get an abortion after having sex with Book. This, along with comitting adultery, is what gets her to hell. It also causes strain between Book and Jetima's mother due to the act being resposible for her death.
  • Evil Is Bigger: All of the hell denizens are roughly twice the size of a regular human, both in height and width.
  • Eye Scream: In one scene, one of the hell beings has one of his eyes dislocated when a hell denizen stomps on the side of his head, directly after he had been sawed in half up to his neck. Additionally, after he gets half his face torn off, the eyeball flies across the landscape.
  • Fire and Brimstone Hell: Subverted. Naraka in this film is portrayed as a world with a cavern-like decord with giant pools of lava in several spots. As this is Naraka, multiple sites of hell are portrayed, including a site which is an endless forest made up of spiky tress. The entire landscape is shadowed by a reddish glow, as well.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: One scene shows a group of two hell denizens hanging a hell being by his ankles, and then two more cutting him in half with a saw, though only up to his neck.
  • Hellhound: The third site of Naraka houses large demonic dogs that attack those that have committed adultery.
  • Lava Pit: One scene of the movie shows one of these, where thousands of souls are swimming in the lava, and attempt to escape, only to get pushed back in.
  • Out-of-Clothes Experience: Subverted, as this only occurs when the soul actually goes to Naraka. By then, all of their clothes burn off from the intense heat.
  • Rule of Symbolism: Seemingly as a means to represent how Naraka is inescapable, there is one scene in the film where one hell being manages to escape the grasp of one of the hell denizens and runs off. Three denizens spot him, and throw spears at him, successfully hitting him.
  • Tear Off Your Face: In one scene, one of the hell beings has red hot metal hooks stuck in both corners of his mouth, and then the hell denizens yank of the cords they're connected to, ripping half his face off.
