Review of Dorm

Dorm (2006)
7/10
Every dorm has a tale. But this tale, you will never forget.

Warning: Spoilers
Thailand. Ton Chatree is a twelve year old boy who has family problems and is sent by his father to a boarding school to study more and have some discipline. The boy feels bad about his father idea, and things don't stay easier for him once he arrives the school: he doesn't have friends there and the school itself is very creepy. Every night his schoolmates tell ghost stories,specially about a boy that died in the school's swimming pool and a young pregnant woman that committed suicide. Feeling scared and out-casted, Chatree starts a friendship with another lonely boy called Vichien, who has many similar problems like he has. Very soon, Chatree will discover a secret about why his teach Ms. Pranee is so strange, and that Vichien is in fact the boy that drowned in the school's swimming pool.

When I watched ''Dek hor'', I was expecting it to be a horror movie, so I stayed very surprised when I verified that it actually is a drama who tells a tale of friendship. Even not being what I expected to be, the story worked pretty well, and the sacrifice that Ton does to help Vichien is very touching and deserves to be not only recognized, but also appreciated.
