This film was completed by the new generation of Thai director Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom. In 2000, Banjong Pisanthanakun's first short film "Plae Kao" was nominated for Best Film and Best Screenplay in the Bangkok Short Film Competition.

Within three weeks of "Shutter" being released in Thailand, Box Office had nearly 100 million yuan and became the top-grossing Thai movie of the year.
Within 3 weeks of being released in the local area, the film broke through the 100 million Box Office of Thai currency , totaling more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to being the top-grossing Thai movie in 2004, it is also moving towards breaking the top-grossing horror movie " Mae Nak " in Thai history . The goal of keeping the Box Office record of approximately 28 million Hong Kong dollars is set to advance.
Although Thai films are gradually gaining ground in the international film scene and are recognized by people from all over the world, it is an indisputable fact that Hollywood films monopolize Thai local film Box Office. Take Box Office as an example. Hollywood productions occupy about 70% of Box Office time. Champion position, on the contrary, so far only 8 local Thai films have been crowned Box Office champions, and "Shutter" is one of them. The film was released locally on September 9th, and Box Office on the 4th was close to 1 million US dollars ( (About 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars), in addition to easily repelling the Hollywood productions of the same period such as ""(The Terminal) and " Man on Fire " (Man On Fire).
The film achieved Box Office success. It can be regarded as adhering to the tradition of Thai audiences' preference for horror films. The 2002 classic ghost film " Dagui " directed by the Pang brothers and cooperating with Hong Kong and Thailand was very popular, and " The Eye 2 " was released in March. She immediately became the champion of Box Office in Thailand. Even if the Hong Kong horror film " The Park " directed by Andrew Lau was released in Thailand in December, she also became the champion of Box Office for two consecutive weeks.
In addition, this film and similar works in the past, including the 99 classic horror film "Mae Nak", last year's "Buppha Ratree" and "Ghost Delivery" (starring the actor Yalette Aihua Lingham) have one thing in common. Point, that is, a female ghost is the center of the story.

Thai films have been gradually recognized by audiences in recent years. This is mainly due to the success of Thai films focusing on effective commercial operations. In
recent years, international film festivals have been able to be recognized by their sensitive touch and delicate expression. The Southeast Asian films accepted by international film critics are generally from Japan, Vietnam and other places, and there is absolutely no Thai film.
Thai movies pay attention to practical results, and among the movie types, the biggest wins with small fights are nothing more than eroticism and horror. So we understand that domestic audiences accept Thai movies from " Jan Dara " and the spirit tiger spirit snake. At the beginning of the film, although this method is not a long-term solution, the results it receives are indeed fast and good in a short period of time
