After Sundown (2023)
Other name: ดับแสงรวี / Dap Saeng Rawi / Dap Saengrawi / After Sun Down
Synopsis: Heeding the words of a fortune teller, Phloeng becomes engaged to Rawi, a boy from the countryside. Both enter into it reluctantly. Disbelieving the prophecy but appeasing his parents, Phloeng agrees to the arrangement on the condition that, should six months pass without the relationship deepening, he’ll call it off.
Throughout his stay with Phloeng’s family, Rawi is haunted by a spirit. When he begins staying with Phloeng, however, the spirit is quiet. It soon becomes clear that whatever is haunting the house is focused entirely on Rawi.

This just proofs once more that I absolutely don’t get the rating system on mdl..
Would make a very good tv series, which would give it a chance to flesh out pacing a bit and expand on the supernatural elements (add more gothic/horror themes). Okay as a standalone film, but lacked in script. Enjoyable, fine but just fine. Happy to have watched it.
