First Stills From Thai Horror THE COFFIN
Posted by Todd Brown at 2:10pm.
Posted in Film News , Horror, Asia.
Thai director Ekachai Uekrongtham has quickly built a reputation as one of his country’s very best thanks to his films Beautiful Boxer and Pleasure Factory, a pair of films that combine sensational storylines - a transgender boxer in one, sex trade workers in the other - with sensitivity and serious dramatic chops. So it drew a lot of attention when word came out that his next feature would be a horror film, more attention still when it turned out that the film would be his first in English. Starring Shutter‘s Ananda Everingham - whose English is probably better than my own, as I learned when I met him in Cannes last year - the film is based on the actual Thai ritual of lying in a coffin before it is used for good luck.
Entitled The Coffin, the English-language film tells a spine-chilling story about a man and a woman who are confronted by a series of paranormal and terrifying incidents after going through the bizarre death-before-dying ritual. Thrilling, mysterious and ultimately moving, it’s also a tale about the beauty of life and death, living and dying.
Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Ekachai Uekrongtham (Beautiful Boxer, Pleasure Factory), The Coffin stars Hong Kong actress Karen Mok (So Close, Shaolin Soccer) and Thailand’s heartthrob Ananda Everingham who was the lead in the original Thai horror hit Shutter. Other cast members include Napakpapha Nakprasitte (Art of Devil 2 & 3), Andrew Lin (The Heavenly Kings) and newcomer Japanese actress Aki Shibuya.
We’ve got the first three stills released form the film so far, you’ll find tham at the link below.

I really like Karen Mok, so I’m keeping an eye out for this one.
