Falcon Pictures is mounting a remake of the iconic Thai horror film “Shutter,” reuniting with Thai powerhouse GDH for their second collaboration following the successful Indonesian adaptation of “Pee Mak” into “Kang Mak.”
The deal was revealed at the Cannes Film Market.
The production has assembled a marquee cast for the project, including Vino G. Bastian, Anya Geraldine, and Niken Anjani. The company has now released first-look images that offer a glimpse into the atmospheric world crafted by director Herwin Novianto (“Kang Mak,” “Miracle in Cell No 7,” “Fireworks”), who brings a distinctly Indonesian sensibility to the remake while honoring Banjong Pisanthanakun’s landmark 2004 Thai horror original.
“We’re excited to share the first images from ‘Shutter,’ which we believe will deliver an intense, emotionally gripping, and visually compelling horror experience,” said Frederica, producer at Falcon Pictures. “This remake is not only a tribute to Banjong Pisanthanakun’s masterful work, but also an expansion of our vision to bring beloved Southeast Asian stories to new audiences with fresh cultural resonance.”
The psychological thriller follows Darwin, a photographer who discovers a mysterious woman appearing in all his photographs. As the spectral figure begins to manifest in real life, his girlfriend Pia investigates the ghost’s identity, uncovering connections to a former university student named Lilies. When Darwin’s friends start dying, Pia suspects the hauntings are connected to Darwin’s past misdeeds.
Currently in post-production, “Shutter” is expected to hit theaters in late 2025, adding to Falcon’s portfolio that includes box office hits “Warkop DKI Reborn,” “Dilan 1990,” “Miracle in Cell No 7,” and “Comic 8.”
Since its founding in 2010, Falcon Pictures has emerged as one of Indonesia‘s leading film studios, recently expanding into streaming with its platform KlikFilm, which features original content alongside international festival selections and local releases.
