Nang Nak, a blockbuster released in 1999, is the most famous Mae Nak film. Directed by Nonzee Nimibutr and written by Wisit Sasanatieng, it was one of the key films in the Thai 'newwave' movement of the 1990s. Nang Nak talked about the strong love between Nak and Mak.But the final fight between Nak and a monk is quite gruesome and intense. Nang Nak's success led to a wave of Asian ghost films throughout the last decade. Ghost movies have been big
business in Thailand ever since, though none has yet managed to equal Nang Nak's huge success.
