Charlie Trairat, Chintara Sukapatana, Jintara Sukaphatana, Sirachuch Chienthaworn

Director Songyos Sugmakanan's gentle and reserved Thai horror picture Dek Hor (AKA Dorm) is a coming of age tale that quietly observes the experiences of a laconic young boy, Ton (Chalee Trairat) swep... read more read more...t up in the currents of early adolescence. Forced to leave home because of a dark secret harbored by his father, he moves to a new preparatory school, in mid-year, and comes face-to-face with an unfamiliar dormitory residence, an unfamiliar bed and unfamiliar classmates. Plagued with feelings of inner loneliness and isolation - compounded by the icy disciplinarian who runs the school - Ton sinks into a morass of sadness. As rumors circulate throughout the facility about the role played by the headmistress in the accidental drowning death of a young boy a decade earlier, however, Ton observes signs which suggest that the boy's spirit may haunt the school, including bathroom taps that run continuously and refuse to shut off, and doors that open and close by themselves. Soon, Ton encounters that spirit - but little can prepare him for the friendship that develops between them. Jintara Sukaphatra, Siranath Jianthavorn and Suttipong Tudpitakkul co-star.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

    Engrossing drama, even if it's not that scary. Taunt direction and terrific performances.

    Not a horror movie...just a nice, touching one (with ghostly undertones). A good story of friendship, and forgiveness. Reminded me a lot of Devil's Backbone, which I rather liked also.

    So cuteee. I really liked this movie. It was so cute. I thought it was going to be a scary movie, but it was more of a Casper meets Wendy type of thing and was more creepy and adorable than scary. It had an interesting storyline, and it was really entertaining. Pretty solid film ... read morewith good actors.

    Not a horror film, more of a fantasy coming of age story.

    Not as scary as I thought but a great little story well acted by cute Thai boys. A coming of age Ghost Story nicely done.

    Not as I expected (like many contemporary Asian horror movies). It was actually quite sweet and innocent. What first seemed like a horror movie ended up more like a coming of age film with creepy undertones.

    This is very sweet actually...it's not a horror movie, but a sweet drama and somehow reminds me of my own experience when i was in a retreat camp for school back in Indonesia and when i was in elementary school watching Chinese vampire movies when I got home every Saturday lol :)... read more I appreciate it that Thailand made a movie like this. Nostalgic. I'm impressed with how it turned out for a Southeast Asian movie. It deserved the awards they have gotten for this movie. And Charlie Trairat is soooooo cuuuuuttteeee

    I was really expecting a horror flick but it was more a tale about a boy who gets sent off to a private boys school & befriends a ghost............Bummer
