Siam Square

About This Movie

Siam Square taps into the rich vein of urban legends, filtering it through a distinctly Thai lens. The film's atmosphere is thick with dread, amplified by the claustrophobic school settings and shadowy alleyways. The pacing is interesting—starts slow, builds tension, then hits with some genuinely unnerving moments. The performances from the young cast feel authentic, capturing that mix of bravado and vulnerability. Practical effects are a highlight, lending a tangible quality to the supernatural elements that CGI often fails to achieve. There's a palpable sense of foreboding that lingers long after the credits roll, making it a curious piece for anyone into horror that leans on folklore rather than just jump scares.
