Thai horror
Thai horror refers to horror films produced in the Thai film industry. Thai folklore and beliefs in ghosts have influenced its horror cinema. Horror is among the most popular genres in Thai cinema, and its output has attracted recognition internationally. Pee Mak, for example, a 2013 comedy horror film, is the most commercially successful Thai film of all time. History 
Thai Cinema: The Complete Guide states that "the history of Thai cinematic achievements is to a large extent the history of Thai horror." Nang Nak (1999) has been described as a key part of "Thai New Wave". Shutter (2004) was critically acclaimed and commercially successful locally and internationally. The film was successful in Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Brazil, and was remade in the United States and in India. Pee Mak (2013), a comedy horror, became the highest-grossing Thai film of all time upon its release. The Medium (2021), a Thai-South Korean co-production, was awarded Best Film at the 25th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and was the Thai submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in its year of release, but was not nominated. However, "the appearance of zombies in Thai horror films is a relatively new theme." Notable films
