Pee Mak starring Mario Maurer Hits Philippine Cinemas on August 28 (Full Trailer)

Thailand's highest grossing film of all time, Pee Mak Phra Khanong starring Thai-German heartthrob Mario Maurer and rising star Davika Hoorne is soon to hit Philippine theaters after conquering Asia and the US.

Produced by the GTH studio and directed by Banjong Pisunthanakun (Hello Stranger), Pee Mak is based on folklore about the ghost of a woman Mae Nak Phra Khanong who died in childbirth and the unsuspecting husband who returns from war to live with his family. 

Past movie adaptations focused more on the lovelorn ghost Mae Nak and her tragic tale, but the new film tells its story through Pee Mak (Maurer), the simple-hearted husband, and the friends who try in vain to tell him his wife’s (Hoorne) secrets.

Pee Mak is the second Thai film (after ATM) distributed in the Philippines by Star Cinema. It will be shown in selected cinemas on August 28, 2013. Watch the Philippine trailer (with English subtitles) below.
