Siam Square (2017) Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a horror mystery film: "Siam Square"!
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care! The film begins with Jublek, a high school student
waiting anxiously for a girl in a room with her friend named Terk. Jublek’s getting impatient,
as they have been waiting for a while; but Terk assures her that she will come. Someone enters
the room; but they’re not who she’s expecting. They accuse Jublek of harming another student
named May, and then ask Jublek if she had the same dream as they did, as if their
lives depended on it. but Jublek denies it. The students mention a student named Birdie,
who died because of a girl. Jublek responds that it’s all May’s fault,
because she refused to listen to her warnings. A flashback reveals her and May in that same
room alone, A girl then enters and takes a seat at the front; and the girl suddenly speaks up,
asking if they heard the story about a girl, who kept wandering around Siam Square for a long time,
until she finally found her way home. The girl stops telling the story;
but curiosity gets the best of May. so she sits beside the girl despite Jublek’s
warnings. The girl hands a red book to May, who packs up her things, and leaves without
a word after receiving it, confusing Jublek. When she turns around, the girl has gone.
Jublek points at the corner where the girl has vanished, and tells everyone that she needs to
return the book May took. Suddenly, all the televisions turn on static, and flash a ghost
before the lights go out. Jublek crawls on the floor in the darkness, and speaks into the wind to
let her go, as she has returned the book. Jublek then notices someone standing before her; and when
Jublek flashes her flashlight on that person, her voice quivers as she recognizes May.
The scene then returns to Siam Square, surrounded by malls and buildings. There are also tuition
and review schools for students, preparing for university entrance examinations.
One of the rooms in Key Building tuition school has some strange and creepy superstition. It’s
believed that if a student wants to pass the examination, they must go to that room alone at
11 PM. They have to tie red threads on the second chair of the first row. The blindfold is a must,
because if students look straight into The Red Thread Ghost’s eyes, she’ll enter their dreams;
they’ll have red strings around their wrist when they wake up, meaning their days are numbered.
This horror story started 30 years ago at Siam Square, where a girl went missing after a blackout
and was never found. Rumors say she reappears to look for someone to join her. One week earlier,
Jublek leaves May after seeing she’s staring at Pond, one of the many high school students for
the review schools. May has secret feelings for Pond; but he doesn’t see her that way. However,
she’s been having casual talks through texts with a man, who won’t be named yet.
Terk’s friends, Mon and Newton, want to take a video clip in that room, to gather millions
of views and earn money. On the other hand, a short-haired student named Nid, meets up with
her friend, Dao, who gives her a book before departing, as their review days are over. As
she leaves, Nid goes straight to the bathroom. Later that night, May and Jublek enter the room.
Jublek wants to help May rewrite her biology paper. Before they start, Jublek rants about a
student she considers a competition; but then she notices May texting instead of listening. Fed up,
Jublek snatches her phone, and lectures her about the dangers of talking to a stranger.
May ignores that, so Jublek returns her phone. May returns to texting while dismissing Jublek’s
problems. An angry Jublek snaps, and tells May how fed up she is about cleaning up her mess. Deeply
offended, May storms out. Terk spots her crying in the hallway. Terk asks if she’s okay. Suddenly,
a city blackout happens before she can answer. Electricity returns shortly after; and May removes
Terk’s hand on her arm, and opens the bathroom, where they find an unconscious Nid. May wakes
her up; and when they see how confused and weak she is, the two drop her off at
her house. Terk drives away to drop off May at her home; but May firmly refuses, and tells him
they’re not friends as she hates him. Terk pulls over after May kicks his seat;
and she immediately rants about it to the man she’s been talking to as she walks home. Terk
drives straight to the Key Building, where he runs into Moowan and the two girls. Terk informs them
that he’s there to check on his friends, who are trying to catch a ghost in that room.
At that same time, Mon introduces the tutoring school rumored to be haunted by the Red Thread
Ghost to the camera, filmed by Newton and Pond. He starts messing around, disrespecting the rumor and
the believers, as he tries to prove that the ghost isn’t real. He uses an app on his phone to detect
if there’s a ghost in that room. The smile on his face vanishes as the phone rings, when he places
his phone near the legendary chair. He stops filming; but the phone is still ringing.
Suddenly, a ghost’s face flashes on his screen, so Mon tosses it out of surprise. The others don’t
see it; but the trio starts hearing something, so Newton and Pond take out their phones to
film. They shiver in fear as they capture the chair with red threads, and begin to move;
They capture the rumored Red Thread Ghost, grabbing red threads from the corner.
Mon, Newton, and Pond immediately storm out. Newton looks around, and notices the clock
on the wall malfunctioning. Mon and Pond grab him to run; but then they run into Birdie. Mon
warns Birdie not to enter the room, and then runs away with his friend, leaving her confused.
Despite the warning, Birdie still goes in, and takes her wallet that she left on the floor. She
turns around to leave when she hears a woman’s voice, telling the story of the girl who went
missing in Siam Square. She looks around to look for the voice, when the Red Thread Ghost
grabs onto her shoulder, revealing her terrifying face. As Mon, Newton, and Pond get out, they hear
Birdie’s scream of horror; and not long after, she exits the building, looking disoriented.
The following day, May repeatedly attempts to get ahold of Jublek, but fails to contact
her. So she checks Jublek’s social media accounts, only to discover that Jublek has
made a new account not to be associated with her anymore. Jublek posts photos of
her enjoying her time with her mom, Dao. Mon, Newton, and Pond try to contact their
friends that night, as only a few students attend the class. Mon grabs Newton’s phone to stop them
from contacting their friends. Mon screams at Pond that they’re not going to that school anymore.
That rainy night, May goes to Nid’s house to check in on her; Nid invites her into her room to
catch up. May immediately notices the friendship book on Nid’s bookshelf. As May goes through it,
she finds a page with words written backward; Nid explains that she needs to read the message
through a mirror. May holds the book up to a mirror and reads a song. But when she turns
around, she finds an emotional Nid. She stops herself from bursting into tears,
and asks May if she saw another friendship book, the day they found her in the bathroom.
This confuses May, as Nid already has six friendship books, and still missing another
one. Nid explains that the books on the shelf are records of how she sees herself;
but the one she lost contains how her friends see her, which truly matters to her.
Meanwhile, Mon, Terk and Newton, are in Moowan’s room. They’re reviewing the video they took last
night, that captured the Red Thread Ghost. They transfer the file into Moowan’s computer to slow
down the footage. But the Red Thread Ghost’s face is distorted. Mon raises his concern,
about whether it’s possible to move the ghost’s presence into multiple devices,
as they captured her on a digital file. Moowan leaves the room to attend to the
visitor that rang his doorbell. Moowan’s sister informs him that a friend is waiting for him.
But suddenly, she is nowhere to be seen. Moowan returns to the room, looking pale and not so
himself. Moowan zooms into the ghost’s face for a reason; so Mon, Newton, and Pond ask him why
he’s doing it. Moowan remains silent. Suddenly, Newton's phone rings with Moowan’s face as the
caller. Although confused, Newton answers it. Newton calls Terk and Mon to the side, to tell
them it’s not Moowan sitting at the computer. The real Moowan barges into the room. They
slowly move backward to Moowan’s side, as they are freaked out when the door suddenly slams
shut; and the lights start flickering. The Impostor Moowan sitting by the computer,
slowly turns his head at them, revealing that it’s the Red Thread Ghost. The guys scream in horror.
Until someone starts banging on the door. Moowan’s sister opens it, calming them down for a bit;
but as they turn around, the ghost is gone; and so is the footage of her on the computer.
The following day, May finds herself in an establishment with closed stores,
where she sees Jublek across from her. May begins walking to follow Jublek when
familiar faces start showing up, even Nid, who warns her not to go. However, May ignores them,
as she wants to rekindle her friendship with Jublek; but then the Red Thread Ghost
suddenly shows herself, and screams at her. As the sun rises; and Terk and the three wake up,
finding red strings around their wrists. They meet up with the rest later that day. It turns out,
all of them dreamt of the same thing; they are in an establishment with closed stores,
trying to stop May. The girls are scared for their lives, as they realize the rumors are true.
On the other hand, the guys decide to go into the cursed room, to put an end to their misery.
May stalks Jublek to the mall with Nid, who suddenly becomes sad,
after seeing a picture of Jublek with her mother. She excuses herself to the bathroom,
leaving May alone. At that same time, Terk goes to his father, who informs him that he will be
attending a funeral of a student whose parents he knows; that student’s name is Birdie.
Terk cannot hide his shock after hearing this; so he asks his father if the school is haunted.
Terk’s father once rented the building, and thought that the girl who went missing 30
years ago was not dead, but instead ran away to escape her miserable life.
Around that same time, Mon and Newton enter the haunted room to contact the Red Thread Ghost.
The door behind them suddenly slams shut. Mon looks through the glass in the door,
checking for something. When he turns around, he finds himself alone in the
room. On the other hand, Newton experiences the same thing; but with him, it’s nighttime.
Newton notices the wall clock malfunctioning; and the lights flicker, before he sees a girl sitting
on the chair with red threads. Newton slowly approaches her when she suddenly stands up,
faces him with her head down, and asks if he wants to know how it all started.
Newton backs away in fear, as she slowly walks toward him. The ghost reveals her terrifying face,
causing him to stumble and lose his glasses. Newton continues to back away,
and fortunately quickly gets and wears his glasses just in time as she vanishes.
Newton looks around, trying to find the ghost. A chair suddenly comes from his hide,
almost hitting him. When he turns to the side to look who threw it, he faces the ghost up
close. Newton screams in terror, backs away to the wall, and hides his face in his palms. He
then peeks through his fingers, and sees the ghost staring at him. He gets thrown out to the corner,
where he reunites with Mon in the daylight. Newton’s voice quivers as he tells Mon that he saw
the girl. Terk enters the room. He informs them that the Red Thread Ghost’s name is Jong Maneerat,
which rings a bell to Terk. Meanwhile, May sees Jublek pull out Nid’s lost friendship
book from her bag, and a red thread around her wrists, just like her. Around that time,
Terk takes his friends to the mall parking lot, where he informs them of Birdie’s death.
Mon, Newton, and Pond see May with Nid stalking Jublek, who is with her mother at the mall’s
parking lot. Suddenly. Nid calls Dao, Jublek’s mother, and introduces herself as Jong Maneerat,
her nickname. Dao gets speechless upon hearing the name, recognizing it. Jublek
calls her mother’s attention, and the two enter the car and drive away.
May confusingly approaches Nid, but the three of them stop her. They inform her that Nid is
dead. Nid doesn’t understand what they’re talking about; so Newton explains that she’s already dead;
but her spirit still haunts Siam Square. Nid refuses to believe it at first;
but everything flashes back. It turns out, Nid went to the bathroom
to read the letters, and signed the friendship book Dao gave her. Nid couldn't help but smile
as she saw the messages. But it vanishes, as she reads what Dao and her friends think
of her. They hate her guts; they think of her as fake, pretentious, and an attention seeker,
who always thinks of herself as the prettiest. Nid dropped the book and cried in silence,
as she felt the pain in her chest. She looked at the red thread around her wrist. She thought it
symbolized their friendship and love, but for Dao, it meant hatred. She’s about to leave the
bathroom, when the lights suddenly go off. As the lights returned, May and Terk stood before
her. When they dropped her off at her house, her younger sister was astounded after seeing her in
the flesh. Just then, Nid realizes something. It’s then revealed that Nid has been missing for
30 years. Nid’s parents died months after her disappearance. She has no idea how she
could travel through 30 years; but the pain in her chest after reading Dao’s message in the
friendship book, still haunts her. Newton informs Nid that after she went missing,
her chair became a mysterious relic; and rumors started to spread. The more people repeatedly
talked about the ghost story, the more real it became, as they believed it was real,
until it created the spitting and terrifying image of Nid as the Red Thread Ghost.
Newton claims they need to hear from Jublek, “about” what happened that night;
so they can send Nid back home, as her being there can lead to their death. The following day,
May meets with Terk, who informs her that he met the girl who wants her friendship book back.
Later that day, May waits for Nid to come and take her friendship book;
but their friends come instead of her. They pressure her to confess what happened that
night. The flashback scene shows her alone in that room, where she sits beside the girl,
who repeatedly whispers into her ears, instructing her to give the friendship book that Dao keeps;
and in exchange, she will never have to see May again. Jublek obeys since she hates May.
The scene returns to the present, where the television suddenly turns on static, before
flashing the girl’s terrifying face. Everyone in that room screams in horror as the lights go off,
while the others are standing outside attempting to come in; but the door’s tightly shut. Jublek’s
voice quivers as she sees May standing before her. Jublek backs away, until the Red
Thread Ghost appears behind her. As promised, Jublek will never have to see May again.
The Red Thread Ghost throws May onto the wall, and does the same to Jublek before lifting May
by choking her. Terk tries to help May; but with the ghost’s scream, he gets thrown to the corner,
hitting his head. Suddenly, the ghost lets go of May. Newton from outside
screams at everyone to close their eyes. They close their eyes. But a phone rings,
angering the ghost. The Ghost lets out a terrifying scream as the wind howls in the room.
As soon as Newton sees that the wall clock has stopped, he instructs Nid to go to the bathroom;
so the Red Thread Ghost will disappear. Nid does as told; but her ghost stops her.
Suddenly silence fills the room, until Pond suddenly attacks Moowan. Terk immediately
tries to stop him. Pond backs away, causing him to fall out the window. The celebration
for Nid returning home, turns into cries as they see Terk’s body outside.
Five months later, Jublek moves on with her life with new friends, while May loses her friends
one by one. they visit Terk, who’s now in a coma. One night while walking home, May sees a girl who
looks like Nid, at the corner of the street. She follows her into the Key Building.
May finds the chair with red threads; and Nid emerges from the dark corner. It turns out,
Nid refused to return, since she had already accepted the wrong judgments,
and decided to be the person people think of her. The flashback reveals that the Red Thread Ghost,
made from people’s judgment of her and rumors about her disappearance, convinces her to stay in
the present; and be the person they think she is, fake, self-centered, and an attention seeker.
May rebuts that Nid cannot accept the expectations, because other friendship
books contain good compliments about her. May then plays the song she read from the friendship book,
angering Nid. With May’s encouragement, Nid fights the Red Thread Ghost, which haunts Siam Square;
this time, she finally returns home where she belongs. The film ends with Terk waking up,
and revealing himself as the person, that May has been casually talking to.
