Thai cinema is making waves worldwide, and 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for movie lovers around the world! Following the record-breaking success of How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024), Westec Media Limited and Cine Asia are excited to bring not one, but three must-watch Thai films to Philippine theaters to entertain, thrill, and inspire Filipino moviegoers.
404 Run Run
The top 5 highest opening day film in Thailand (2nd half of 2024), and highest-grossing Thai film of all time in Vietnam, 404 Run Run is an audience favorite horror comedy that balances horror with humor. The film reinvents the classic haunted house trope with a chaotic battle between the living and the dead.
A comedic ghost story unfolds as Nakrob (Ter Chantavit), a young real estate swindler, discovers an abandoned hillside hotel by the beach. Seeing an opportunity, he decides to turn it into a luxury hotel scam. However, Nakrob soon realizes that the hotel is still occupied by the ghost of its original owner, Lalita (Thanaerng Kanyawee), who continues to haunt every inch of the property. Lalita’s ghost inflicts inexplicable horrors on anyone attempting to claim ownership after hers. Thus, a battle ensues between the living and the dead. Nakrob, gathering shamans from various faith communities, attempts to expel Lalita, while she uses all her spectral power to haunt the intruders until their demise.
Flat Girls
This coming-of-age story earned the biggest opening weekend at Thailand’s box office and the official competition selection at the Osaka Asian Film Festival 2025. Flat Girls offers a raw and deeply emotional look at class, friendship, and self-discovery.
The film depicts the love and friendship between two high-school girls, Jane (Fairy Kirana) and Ann (Earnearn Fatima), who are both daughters of police officers. Despite differing financial circumstances, the girls share a close bond. However, their relationship is tested when a young policeman, Tong (Boy Pakorn), moves into their flat. As the girls navigate the complexities of life, the story delves into the challenges of growing up.
The Red Envelope
Starring ‘Billkin’ Putthipong Assaratanakul and ‘PP’ Krit Amnuaydechkorn, this supernatural action-comedy is a Thai twist on the ghost marriage remake of Marry My Dead Body (2022), delivering a hilarious and heartwarming adventure.
When Menn (Billkin), a super-straight mugger-turned-police spy, accidentally picks up a mysterious red envelope, he is bound by a supernatural contract that forces him to wed a ghost. Fate plays an even crueler trick on him: his ‘spouse’ is not only dead, but a cute and unapologetically progressive gay man named Titi (PP). Menn must help Titi uncover the truth behind the accident that took Titi’s life so he can finally rest in peace and leave Menn alone. Menn takes on this atypical mission to help Titi, leading to an unlikely bond between the living and the dead, a gay and a straight man.
These three films showcase Thai cinema’s depth, creativity and star power, delivering fresh and exciting stories set to captivate Filipino audiences. With Thai films becoming a growing favorite among Filipino moviegoers for their unique blend of humor, drama, and heartfelt storytelling, these titles promise an unforgettable big-screen experience. Don’t miss the chance to watch these highly anticipated films, showing exclusively at SM Cinema.
