DORM
“I know a secret and if you promise not to tell anyone, I will tell you….”When 12-year-old Ton transfers to an all-boys boarding school, he’s taunted by his peers and terrified by their tales about the ghosts that inhabit the school. Ton is utterly miserable until he befriends a mysterious fellow pupil.
ALONE
We promised to stay together forever. When Pim and Ploy, twins conjoined at the stomach, are separated, the operation leaves Pim the surviving sister, haunted by Ploy’s vengeful ghost.
PHOBIA (aka 4BIA)
Face Your Fears. Four horror tales revolve around an accident victim, a bullied youth, ghost stories and a deceased princess.
PHOBIA 2
Don’t be surprised if you are addicted to fear. An anthology of five macabre short stories about hungry ghosts, comatose brain dead, a group of bright-eyed actors, an unscrupulous car salesman, and careless backpacking tourists.
COMING SOON
What kind of scenes in a horror film scares you the most? When a ghost appears totally unexpectedly? When the main character does not see the ghost lurking up behind him? When at the very end you find out that the main character was actually a ghost all along? None of this compares to the feeling of arriving home alone and suddenly being struck by a feeling of déjà vu that you are reenacting the very same scenes in the horror movie you just saw!
LADDALAND
Buying a home is a dream that everyone strives for. Thee is one of millions in Bangkok that cannot afford a home. One day, a huge job opportunity knocks on his door and Thee accepts a new position and moves his family to Laddaland, a new housing project with large, beautiful homes. But death is something we all must face soon or later, and in Laddaland, it’s your dead neighbors that you must deal with.
COUNTDOWN
“4...3…2…1” No matter where you are, everyone in the world is looking forward to the countdown to New Year’s Day, which includes 3 Thai teens in New York City. “4...3..2…1” They are counting down without knowing for sure that their new day is going to be waiting for them….
THE PROMISE
“Promise me you won’t leave me.” Unable to accept the harsh truth that their families were going bankrupt in the 1997 Tom Yum Goong Crisis, two best friends, Boum and Ib decided to end their lives together at their families’ unfinished tower, where they promised to be together forever. In the end, Ib died all alone.Twenty years later, Boum, a successful real estate entrepreneur, visits the tower with her daughter, triggering a series of events that frighteningly remind Boum of Ib. What measures will Boum take to release herself from the promise that binds her?
