From true story to the film known as “Thee Yod” in Thailand or “Death Whisperer” in English. Its ability to terrify audiences has been proven and ready to show in more than 20 countries, and as of November 19, 2023, it has earned a staggering revenue of 420 million baht within just 26 days of its release. The Major Group, which operates movie theaters, has released a list of countries where “Thee Yod” will be screened. These countries include Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Russia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Georgia, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Moldova, and Kyrgyzstan.
The story of Tee Yod has been shared and narrated by a storyteller on various platforms, such as The Ghost Radio YouTube channel. This has generated interest among my interviewees abroad, who have been following this story for a period of 7-8 years. Unfortunately, my acquaintances and interviewees who are currently pursuing their studies in the United States are unable to watch this film as it has not been made available in America yet. “I am eagerly anticipating watching this movie in a Thai cinema when I’m back home. I hope it won’t be out of the theaters soon,” expressed one of my interviewees. She is a fan of horror stories, and her personality is drawn to studying paranormal activities that have an element of fear. The other two individuals are also apprehensive about scary things, but they still want to watch it. “We have heard and seen this story on the internet for a long time, but we have never read or listened to it. The reason we want to watch it is that we genuinely want to support and promote Thai movies on an international scale and let outsiders know that we have the talent to produce films as well.”
However, Tee Yod or Death Whisperer is still being shown in cinemas to create buzz and prepare for its international release.
