Coming Soon (Thai: โปรแกรมหน้า วิญญาณอาฆาต) is a 2008 Thai horror film starring Worrakarn Rotjanawatchra, Oraphan Arjsamat, Sakulrath Thomas, and Chantavit Dhanasevi. The film is the directorial debut for Sophon Sakdapisit, who was the co-writer of the films Shutter (2004) and Alone (2007).
Shane (Chantavit Dhanasevi) is a debt ridden theater projectionist who has promised to bootleg a much-hyped upcoming Thai horror film that concerns the vengeful spirit of a crazed village woman who was hanged after she had been discovered abducting and blinding children. After the disappearance of his friend who was taping the movie in the theater with his DV-cam, Shane recovers the DV-cam and sees footage of his friend cowering in fright at something he had seen. When Shane runs the horror movie for himself at the theater again, he is shocked to see his friend inside the movie with his eyes gouged out. The next day as the movie theatre staff look for the missing bootleg, Shane encounters Shomba (Oraphan Arjsamat) the evil spirit depicted in the movie in several places. Eventually, he finds out the terrible secret behind the haunted movie.
Shane and Som (Vorakan Rojchanawat) take a trip out to Shomba's original house fearing that her ghost is chasing after Shane for watching the movie. They want to destroy her remains so she is no longer able to chase after Shane. They get to the house and Shane falls through the open hole in the floor after saving Som from being hit by a ceiling fan. They go to a hospital and the doctor asks Shane and Som why they went into the house. They respond saying how they wanted to see Shomba's final resting place. The doctor tells then that Shomba was not killed by the villagers but was at a mental hospital. At the filming company that made the horror movie, Shane sees the film showing the actress playing out the hanging scene multiple times. The director then complains that she is a horrible actress unable to die properly. Then the actress pleads at the director to try once more to perfect the scene.
