Does anyone care to explain why Natre was on Tun? Was there a deeper meaning behind that apart from her wanting to cause pain on him -- literally? I personally think the position was funny so I wasn't scared at all. Okay maybe I was scared for a second but when it started to sink in I just couldn't help myself but laugh.

That's why his neck was hurting throughout the movie, and what was going on was she was sitting on his neck (like she used to when they were together), because she didn't want to leave him. I am wondering if she fell on him, and that's why he didn't die, because she wouldn't let him so she could continue to haunt him forever.

I think there can be a number of interpretations, the obvious one perhaps being that Natre is too attached to Tun, even in death, to ever want to just let go and "move on". Her sitting on his shoulders is probably just a reminder of earlier scenes when he used to carry her around when they were dating.
Personally, I found it terrifying. I don't know much about Thai superstition, but the Chinese have a belief that there are ghosts that can 'sit' on you - literally press down on and paralyse you, although this is usually when you're lying down. Well, I know it's not the same, but hey, maybe it's a similar Asian idea? - might explain Tun's neck pains, etc. I think it's just that Natre has latched herself onto Tun, and whether it be from her obsessive love or revenge, she will never let him go.
I think it's terrifying also, very scary as you see it unravel and figure it out.
Now Playing: Shutter
Funny no one mentions the grashopper frequence throughout the film. I think that frequence means that once the woman got hold of her man she doesn't let him go - ergo why she is sitting on his shoulders. Also in their relationship she always clinged on to him (one scene where sh's actually sitting on his back).
sharedaugaard, my thoughts exactly. personally i think she is clinging to him and slowly eating his head away. great flick.
shareThe ending made this movie for me! Tun deserved to live in constant chronic pain and I absolutely love how the ghost was the ultimate cause, and the car accident really had nothing to do with it. Ahhhh.....justice....creepy justice, mind you. Love it!
shareI was hoping she was going to be just latched onto his shoulders with her arms like it showed her doing in some of the flashbacks of them together...her arms are all skinny and bony and her face looking over his shoulder was just as creepy as her actually sitting UP on his neck...
shareI agree with both, it's a reminder of the happy moments she had with him and also and it's the "weight on his shoulder" and his life forever.
I'd say that she is simply holding on to him (no pun intended, quite literally), holding on to her love, whatever it takes. Til death does probably part them. And yes, she's his burden.
A great ending, a scary thought.
I like to think of this like some philosophical thing. She (Natre) represents guilt, some kind of "weight" that is crushing Tun's neck. 'cause he knows what he did and it's despicable.
