Movie Review: SCHOOL TALES

  Genre:Horror     Language:Thai     Subtitle:With English Subtitles     Release Date:12 Jan 2017     Main Cast: Sedthawut Anusit, Panida Techasit, Ekawat Ekudchariya, Latkamon Pinrojkirati     Director: Pass Patthanakumjon     Running Time: 98 minutes     Parental Guidance 13: Horror         Every school has its tales of horror and mystery… the marching band is staying over at the school for their annual camp and the members decide to “test” if some of their school’s ghostly tales are for real… Review: A meaningful, but yet scary movie.

However, my heart will jump in shock from time to time, from the random scares, suspends and loud sound effects. At the sta...
