Inspired by a true Thai ritual of lying in coffins to get rid of bad luck and prolong life, The Coffin is a supernatural thriller about a young man and woman who go through this ritual. Chris hopes to save his fiancée who is dying of terminal cancer. Sue does it after being diagnosed with a brain tumor one week before her wedding. After the ritual, they experience what appear to be miracles in their lives. But soon, they find themselves confronted by a series of bizarre and terrifying incidents.

The Coffin was shot in Bangkok and five other provinces across Thailand and includes a 100-year-old Thai temple, an ancient meditation cave, actual cemeteries and inside active crematorium chambers.
