**Term 3** presents three spine-chilling tales from renowned universities, each steeped in its own haunting legend. This latest film, produced by Madiao-Chukiat Sakweerakul and Khom-Kongkiat Khomsiri, features an array of talented directors, including Ble-Nontawat Nambenjaphon, Joe-Arunakorn Pic, Natso-Sorawit Muangkaew, and Tu-Asada Likhitbunma.

Thai ghost stories are celebrated for their unique and eerie elements, and all three episodes in **Term 3** embrace these traditions. The "Procession" episode explores the popular ritual of making vows, while "P'Tech" delves into the authoritarian practices within university life, such as freshman receptions and the SOTUS system. The final episode, "The Invisible Court," weaves together garlands, red water, and dancers to encapsulate all the spine-tingling elements.

Disclaimer. - I could only bear with the movie for the first 20min. The acting is over the top and there are so many plotholes in the short time I watched.

Needless to say that I had never heard about this 2009 Thai horror movie titled "Mahalai Sayongkwan" (aka "Haunted Universities" prior to sitting down to watch it here late in 2022. I stumbled upon the movie by random chance, and seeing it was a Thai horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give directors Bunjong Sinthanamongkolkul and Sutthiporn Tubtim's movie a chance.

But I have to say that the movie's script and storyline felt incredibly sluggish and amateurish. The events in the narrative were predictable, lacked any scares or shocks, and was just held back by acting performances that didn't come off as being believable or energetic.

The entire movie was permeated by a sense of amateurish horror that was cashing in on every single Asian horror trope out there. And that didn't exactly make for a particularly thrilling or enjoyable movie. And the fact that the movie was totally devoid of anything scary or spooky just didn't help to make this a watchable horror movie.

The acting performances in "Mahalai Sayongkwan" were not convincing, and the dialogue and acting performances felt sluggish and forced. It didn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience, and it wasn't furthering an already tarnished storyline.

If you enjoy Asian horror movies, do yourself a favor and don't waste your time, money or effort on "Mahalai Sayongkwan".

My rating of "Mahalai Sayongkwan" lands on a two out of ten stars.

well i have seen a lot of Asian Horrors actually i started these movies this year and i have seen almost every good rated horror movie. than i came through this one HAUNTED UNIVERSITIES well this movie has 4 different types of horror stories you can say its kinda PHOBIA type.
