Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Despite the occasional shortcomings often found in large-scale productions, “Detective Kien: The Headless Horror” stands out as one of the most impressive commercial titles to emerge from Vietnam in recent years Rated: 6.5 Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Detective Kien: The Headless Horror seamlessly blends a murder mystery with supernatural horror, a love triangle, and suspenseful action. There are many intriguing twists and turns in this story that takes place in 19th century Vietnam. May 31, 2025 Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy An absorbing mystery that sometimes gets bloody and even occasionally gut-wrenching. ...
