Sounds similar to Devils Backbone


The storyline sound like it might be similar to the Devils Backbone...anyone else think so?

I watched it a few weeks ago and yes, it is very similar to Devil's Backbone. And Devil's Backbone is about 50 times better but this movie wasn't too bad...I thought it was well acted and executed fairly.

It also sounds similar in some ways to "Dorm" aka "Dek Hor" (Thailand 2006)
IMDb synopsis:
In Thailand, young Ton Chatree is sent to a boarding school by his father to study harder and have less entertainment with television. Once at school, Ton feels outcast and misses his family and friends. He becomes frightened with the ghost stories his new schoolmates tell about a boy that died in the swimming pool and a young pregnant woman that committed suicide. He becomes a close friend of the also lonely boy Vichien, and later Ton realizes that Vichien is the boy that drowned in the swimming pool, and his death repeats every night. Ton tries to find a way to help his friend to rest in peace.

In turn, "Dorm" reminds people of "The Devil's Backbone", which predates both. Of course, I'm just going by what I've read so far. The movie is just now getting underway on Chiller Channel, so it might change my mind eventually.
