Nha gia tien

"Nha Gia Tien" is a rare Vietnamese supernatural horror film that manages to keep the audience engaged from start to finish. The movie not only delivers spine-chilling scares but also incorporates traditional cultural values related to ancestor worship.

The film's strongest point lies in its eerie atmosphere and haunting sound design, creating a sense of dread even without jumpscares. The cast's performances are also impressive, especially "Phuong My Chi", who excellently portrays the initial confusion and fear when facing mysterious occurrences in her own home.

However, the plot can feel a bit convoluted at times, particularly in the second half when the story reaches its climax. Some questions remain unanswered, leaving the audience slightly unsatisfied.

Overall, this is a must-watch for fans of supernatural horror who want to experience a film rich in Vietnamese cultural essence.

This movie is just so emotional and so inspiring!! We cried and laughed throughout! We enjoy every moment of it. Everything was good, the script was good and flew very natural. Has unexpected and meaningful plot twist. Actors and actresses did an wonderful job too! I love how the grandpa also has a southern voice Eventhough the actor was from the north (if i remember correctly). It just makes everything flow very smooth and natural.

After watching i feel like ive been neglecting my ancestors altar for so long 😭 such an amazing movie. Mr Huynh Lap! YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!!!! PLEASE DO MORE MOVIE LIKE THIS!!!! YOU ARE A SUPER TALENTED DIRECTOR AND ACTOR.

The movie begins with the main character narrating his entire life story to the audience. Then, it moves on to him narrating his afterlife to his sister.

And that, apparently, is the director's idea of storytelling-just having characters explain everything outright.

Every twist and conflict leads to long-winded conversations-conversations that, mind you, don't even sound convincing. And there are a lot of twists and conflicts. The film keeps introducing new ones out of nowhere but fails to land any of them.

The only redeeming factor is the lead actress's performance, refreshing and restrained enough, but even that falls apart whenever she tries to cry and can't manage a single tear.
