Coming-Of-Age Drama Meets Ghost, 17 June 2008
7/10
Author: Hal-900 from WA, USA

"Dorm" feels like an Asian version of Guillermo De Toro's "Devil's Backbone." Not unlike the celebrated Spanish film, this Asian import was sold as a horror film but it is in fact a coming of age story with supernatural overtones. A troubled kid is sent to a strict boarding school by his concerned father. The kid has problems adjusting to the new school and things don't get any better when he hears that the school is haunted by the ghost of a kid who committed suicide. The film has a horrendously inept goof -- throughout the entire film the haircut of the protagonist changes from scene to scene. At first, I thought it was another kid or that the haircut had something to do with the main storyline. It's that bad! It took me a while before I realized what was going on. If you can get past this irritating flaw, the film is an effective, even moving exploration of growing pains.
