| Filmcritic.comDon WillmottIt's always nice to help people, even if those people happen to be spirits from the other side. |
| User Reviewjohnson nTo be honest the first time me and my friends read the title "dorm" we thought it was going to be a scary movie. As we watched we questioned, but at the end it was darn a** good. This is an amazing film and being able to watch a young boy gain a friend even if he is a spirit and being able to help him live on is truely remarkable and heartwarming. |
| User ReviewTTT CSimilar to Devil's Backbone, but much sadder and darker. More of a ghost story than a horror but it will leave you in tears at the end :) |
| User ReviewNoor FSuperb! Superb! The best ghost story i'v ever watched!! but kind of sad too...at the end! Simple story with big surprise!! |
| User ReviewShelby CThis isn't particularly scary for a horror film, except for a couple tense jump scenes, but it's still a great Thai film with a moving, well-written story. I guess the oxymoron of "supernatural realism" applies here, since the movie presents issues like death and bullying in a very real manner, but with the added element of ghosts, which allows the filmmaker to explore these issues in a unique and interesting way. It's refreshing that it avoids so many of the ghost story cliches, so I can forgive the fact that the ending still winds up being a little predictable. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe suspense and story is just as fantastic as early Guillermo del Toro |
| User ReviewGemini LIf a ghost story can be cute, this one definitely is. |
| User ReviewAnthony VNot so much a horror film as a dark fantasy. |
| User ReviewRae Enice movie...horror daw pero it's not that spooky (believe me)..yet it's good...more of a feel-good type...bilib na talaga ako sa Thai movies...=p |
| User ReviewLeetal PNot bad, not bad, could be better, but where Dorm wins, (and also disappoints the horror fans) is in the friendship between the two kids. It's absolutely fascinating how successful Asian horrors tend to take a storytelling route, much stronger than their American counterparts. |
