Plot introduction

25-year-old Thai photographer Tun (Alette Aihualing) and his girlfriend Jane (Natalie Whelan Tamei) are drinking with friends. On the way home, they accidentally knocked down a woman, and the car went out of control and ran into a billboard on the roadside. The unconscious woman was lying in the middle of the road, but at this time, there were cars driving behind. Instead of getting off to visit the injured, they chose to leave the scene by car.

However, after the accident, strange things followed. Tun found some strange lights and images in the photos he took. At first, he thought it was just a shooting mistake. Later, after careful verification, he realized that the mysterious image in the photo was similar to the woman they knocked down. At the same time, Tun not only had nightmares, but also had inexplicable pain in his neck.

The next day, Tun and his girlfriend decided to go to the scene of the accident again, but they didn't find the body of the woman who was hit. A worker at the scene also told them that no one was injured in the accident, but ghosts seemed to haunt them all the time, and their friends also committed bizarre suicides one after another. On the other hand, Jane thinks something is fishy, so she decides to investigate deeply and finally finds out that all these strange things are caused by her boyfriend. ...

Within three weeks of the film's local release, the box office exceeded 1 100 million Thai dollars, totaling more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. This movie was not only the highest-grossing Thai movie in 2004, but also broke the box office record of about 28 million Hong Kong dollars for Ghost Wife, the most popular horror movie in Thai history.

Although Thai films have gradually become popular in the international film industry in recent years, it is an indisputable fact that Hollywood films monopolize the box office of Thai local films. Take this year's box office as an example. As of the end of September, Hollywood production companies occupied the box office champion position about 70% of the time. On the contrary, only eight films made in Thailand have reached the top of the box office so far, among which Ghost is 1, which was released locally on September 9. On the 4th, the box office was close to US$ 6.5438+0.8 million (about HK$ 7.8 million), except for easily repelling Hollywood blockbusters such as The Pier and The Fire Man.

The film was a great success at the box office, which can be regarded as adhering to the tradition that Thai audiences prefer horror movies. In 2002, the classic ghost film Hell directed by Peng Brothers and co-produced by Hong Kong and Thailand was a great success at the box office. When it was released in March this year, Hell 2 immediately became the box office champion in Thailand. Even Liu Weiqiang's Hong Kong-made horror film "Blame Heaven" was released in Thailand last June and became the box office champion for two weeks in a row.

In addition, this film has * * similarities with previous similar works, including 1999 classic horror film Ghost Wife, last year's Buppha Ratree and Ghost Delivery (by Arlette Aivalingham, the hero of this film).
