The Scout

No-one expected an ordinary scout camp would turn into an extraordinary adventure that the children would never forget. The camp is situated near an ancient castle in a forest which the teachers consider as a peaceful and harmless place. But as the night falls, things go from bad to worse when the children encounter a giant ferocious serpent, flying frogs, and many more such horrifying creatures.

Directed by Pleo Sirisuwan, The Scout leans on a strong ensemble — Apisarit Adisasurarak, Weerayoot Kaengkan, Rimpawe Krueangsai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2009.
