🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its dread through the dissonance between serene landscapes and a creeping psychological unease, relying on folklore about cursed places. It employs sound design and visual hints to gradually undermine the viewer's sense of security.

What lingers after the credits is a slight chill from the simple idea that escaping one's troubles might lead to a place where they take on a new, spectral shape. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Zhang Jing

Late at night, alone, with the lights dimmed to feel the inn's oppressive silence fully.
