Dorm

About This Movie

So, 'Dorm' is an interesting mix of horror and mystery, set against the eerie backdrop of an all-boys boarding school in Thailand. You really feel the weight of isolation through Ton’s story—he’s just trying to fit in but is constantly haunted by both his peers and these ghost stories swirling around him. The atmosphere is heavy, with a slow, creeping pace that builds tension without rushing. The practical effects aren’t overdone, which adds a certain rawness to the ghostly encounters. The performances, especially from the kids, have that genuine feel; it’s not just about the scares. There’s this almost palpable sense of longing for companionship and understanding. Definitely a film that lingers with you after it ends.
