Time Out says

After discovering that his father is having an affair, Ton is sent away to boarding school, where he finds it difficult to fit in with his classmates – but not with Vichien, a lonely boy who is later revealed to be the drowning ghost in the school's urban legend.

When it was being promoted, Dorm (2006) seemed like just another ghost story, especially with its boarding school setting. However, the film's saving grace is its exploration of relatable themes such as friendship, coming of age and guilt.

Songyos Sugmakanan is the director of this drama-slash-horror film, which features a long list of popular Thai movies and series in its credits, including My Girl (2003), one of our favourite rom-coms, the Hormones series, and In Family We Trust (2018).
