Brandon A This was the first Vietnamese film I've ever seen and it was a riot! I went in absolutely blind, didn't watch any trailers or read anything. Just saw the poster and thought to myself, "international horror, let's go". I had no expectations but thoroughly enjoyed it. I just watched The Conjuring in IMAX a few days ago, and to me, this film was a lot more enjoyable in many ways. The story was interesting and you could tell the actors were fully invested in their roles 👏 The film doesn't rely on cheap jump scares and a tired overused plot. It uses a dark atmosphere and keeps you feeling somewhat uncomfortable with the creepy sound design, loved that. Even when you think a jump scare is coming, it still manages to make you nearly jump out of your seat. It took a familiar idea and managed to make it original and quite brutal. You feel a sense of dread from the opening, parts of the movie feel like a fever dream, and up until the very end you feel... well I won't say because you should just experience that brilliant final act for yourself! Go support international horror films and watch it. Super fun film!
