SisterS is the first horror movie byPrachya Pinkaew, the director of the action blockbustersOng Bak andTom Yum Goong. However, the idea forSisterS dates back to 1997, when Prachya was still working atGMM Grammy. At the time, it was on his list of projects to work on withOng Bak, and he considered naming itKrasue 2000 orKrasue Y2K. He came up with the idea to make akrasue-related movie since he has been fascinated by the ghost after he watchedKrasue Sao (1973) when he was a kid. After he left GMM Grammy and went to work onOng Bak withSahamongkol Film International, the project was put on hold until it began filming in early 2018.[5]
A gala premiere forSisterS was held at SF World Cinema,CentralWorld on April 2, 2019, and was attended by the entire cast and almost all ofBNK48 members, since one of the main leads,Mewnich, is a part of the group.[6] It officially released in Thai theatres on April 4, 2019. After 19 days of release, the film grossed 6.9 million baht.
On August 12, 2019, the movie was officially released onNetflix, even though it's only available in certain countries. Later it managed to gain a slot at the 2019Tokyo International Film Festival.[3]
