Movie No. 50 (2016): DORM

Dorm (2006)
Director: Songyos Sugmakanan
Cast: Charlie Trairat, Jintara Sukapatana, Sirachuch Chienthawom
In Thai, with English subtitles


Despite that it reminds me of Guillermo Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone (an excellent horror movie), Dorm is a ghost story like no other that I've seen. Fans of hardcore horror movies might be disappointed to see this movie. The scenes that elicit thrill and suspense are far and between. The movie's concern about the characters makes the movie a cut above some movies of the genre. In my opinion, the movie is more of the coming-of age type of movie. In this vein, the movie is a resounding success.

Rating: 4.0/4.0

Date seen: August 1, 2016
