Anecdotes

Deathwave or 2022 Tsunami is a 2009 Thai disaster film directed by Toranong Srichua.

Production and reception

Deathwave was directed, produced and written by Toranong Srichua, a film director famous in the 1980s and 1990s, especially with erotic films. This was his first film in five years after last working on Unhuman in 2004. Srichua explained he made this film to warn the Thai people about disasters that might happen in the near future. It was first Thai film in which the Prime Minister is a main character.

Most of the filming took place at a studio in Amphoe Kaeng Krachan, Phetchaburi province, which Srichua hoped for when it was released, would be popular and he would renovate the studio as a tourist attraction. However, the film struggled with marketing; one billboard promoting the film next to a shophouse on the way to the Hua Lamphong Expressway used actual photos of the 2004 tsunami victims, which was criticized as inappropriate.

Although the movie was hyped as a potential blockbuster disaster film such as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012 or Korean film Haeundae, the release was criticized for its direct-to-video or B movie quality, resulting in a very low turnout. In response to the criticism, Srichua considered organizing activities like fasting on a building's roof to simulate scenarios during a hypothetical tsunami. The events were ultimately not held.
