Muoi: The Curse Returns is a 2022 horror film about a young woman who goes to stay with a friend and discovers a haunted painting. The movie is a belated sequel to Muoi: The Legend of the Portrait (2007).
Directed and produced by Hang Trinh – making her feature directorial debut – from a screenplay by Oscar Duong based on a story by Phil Wyatt.
The Silver Moonlight Entertainment production stars Hong-Anh, Binh Minh, Chi Pu and Rima Thanh Vy.
Plot:
Linh (Chi Pu) accepts the invitation to visit Hang (Rima Thanh Vy), her long-lost best friend at a commissional house in a nearby city. During her stay, Linh discovers the haunted portrait of Muoi and its curse throughout years of anger.
Linh has to make a life-or-death decision of either running away or facing the curse to save her friend. Little does she know, while slowly unfolding the darkest secret behind this haunted portrait, Linh falls deeper into the most horrific trap, which was contrived… specifically, just for her.
Blurb:
“With an artistic visual approach and a humanist story aesthetic, Vietnam’s first exorcism-themed horror film combines tense elements of a love triangle and blood-soaked affairs. Winner of the Best Sound award at the 2023 Golden Kite Film Festival, the film features popular Vietnamese star, Chi Pu. Chi Pu is the first and the only Vietnamese artist with a self-titled mobile game and has the most followers of any Vietnamese actress on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.”
Release:
BayView Entertainment will release Muoi: The Curse Returns on digital platforms in the USA, Canada and Mexico on April 30, 2024. A release on AVOD in the USA, Canada and Mexico will follow on June 25, 2024.
