Vietnamese horror movie joins U.S. film festivals
Vietnamese horror film Ngoi Nha Trong Hem (The House in the Alley) directed by Le Van Kiet, which will be released on Valentine’s Day (February 14) received a number of invitations to join American film festivals after its trailer was posted on the entertainment website Internet Movie Database (IMDb) last month, reports VnExpress.
The film will be introduced in the New York’s Tribecca Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival and Houston’s Fantastic Festival. The film features Rebel and Clash star Ngo Thanh Van and Tran Bao Son.
The trailer appeared on the IMDb website after Twitchfilm, one of the world’s leading websites for horror films, commented that people had forgotten the appeal of horror films as date movies. ‘The House in the Alley’ is a big surprise as it reminds people that horror films are the best choice for Valentine’s Day,” the Twitchfilm website said.
The film focuses on a couple who are distraught after the wife suffers a miscarriage. After a long stint in hospital, the wife returns home and is tormented by the loss and begins acting strangely. Their house also undergoes a bizarre transformation. The husband, despite trying to help, becomes increasingly frantic, and when things get out of control, the couple is forced to fight together and find out what is happening to them and inside the walls of their house.
