Lost Minds
A couple, worn down by years of failed attempts to conceive, turns to an ancient Chinese fertility ritual known as the 'primer'—temporarily adopting a child to pave the way for their own. They bring home a silent seven-year-old girl from an orphanage, but the quiet sanctuary of their home quickly fractures. The child draws chilling portraits of her former family, while her new mother is besieged by grotesque visions that erode her grip on reality. The orphanage supervisors, portrayed by Hui Shiu Hung and Pat Ha, guard dark secrets that begin to seep into the couple's life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film is a slow-burn exercise in domestic dread, where the horror stems from a corrupted promise of new life. It effectively contrasts the desperate hope of the parents with the chilling ambiguity of the child, making every interaction fraught with potential menace.
What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the rituals we trust and the strangers we invite into our homes to fulfill them. The line between supernatural curse and psychological unraveling remains expertly blurred. — MovieFinder Editorial
