🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs dread by juxtaposing the mundane reality of a migrant worker with a supernatural incursion, relying on cultural superstition and social alienation to build its horror.

What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of unease, where terror stems not from gore but from the vulnerability of being utterly alone in a foreign land. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kelvin Tong

Watch alone late at night with the lights dimmed to fully absorb the creeping dread.
