Unfortunately, the fashion for thrillers in Japan, Korea and Hong Kong had already passed by the time Silk came out, and despite being the highest-grossing domestically produced film that year (pulling in about NT $ 60 million), it still lost a lot of money.
可惜該片問世時，日、韓、港的驚悚片風潮早已炒完，以致雖然坐上當年國片票房冠軍（約六千多萬元），但仍讓片商慘賠。
