March 1, 200620 yr Saw Dek Phoo today, really enjoyed it. Three quarters of the way through the movie, the characters exchange a few lines in another language, while Thai sub-titles appear briefly. Anyone know what that language is? I'm guessing Lao since the boarding school is supposed to be "upcountry".
March 2, 200620 yr "dek hor", dorm kids? That's the one. The director is one of the same gang who made แฟนฉัน.

March 3, 200620 yr I saw Dek Hor this past Monday. I enjoyed it but I think the film could not figure out if it was a kids movie or a horror movie. The first 40 minutes or so, it was a horror movie then you get a plot twist (easy to see coming) and then it turns into a kids movie. If it wasn't for the scary first half, you could allow children to watch it. I was really hoping to see a good scary movie. I'm a little disappointed.

Yeah, same with Kra Seu (Ghost of Valentines), the one with the head and a couple tubes and organ hanging from a disembodied head that floats around and scares everyone! But I'm enjoying seeing something other than the formula hollywood movie, plus i'm studying thai... there's another we saw the trailer for, another thai horror movie, has some kind of big snake or shape-changer thing... that one looked interesting, too.

Seen the movie too but the setting for it was in Chonburi (At least thats what one of the characters said) which is a province just north of Pattaya, South East of Bangkok. Some of the kids in it are Issan so maybe its a dialect? As to whether its a horror movie... Well at first I thought it was but the audience (mostly young adolesants) around me in the movie theatre must of laughed at every joke in film!
