Released in 2018, Victor Vũ's film "The Immortal" explores the theme of witchcraft and sorcery, with a thrilling and eerie storyline. After just three days in theaters, the film grossed hundreds of millions of Vietnamese dong.

On February 7th alone, the film grossed over 200 million VND. Prior to that, the film recorded over 200 million VND in revenue on its first day of re-release on February 4th.

Through the screen, viewers have the opportunity to admire the beautiful natural scenery from North to South.

Quang Tri is the most frequently featured location in the film, accounting for approximately 70-90% of the total filming locations. This region boasts a vast system of limestone mountains, primeval forests, and caves, almost entirely untouched by human activity. The Tu Lan cave system, located in Minh Hoa and Tuyen Hoa communes, is a prominent highlight, comprising over 20 large and small caves spread across an area of ​​more than 650 hectares.

The village is notable for its exploration of the Tú Làn cave system. This system, comprising 20 caves, was first explored in 1992 and is located within a pristine forest and limestone mountain range covering over 650 hectares in Tân Hóa hamlet, Kim Phú commune, approximately 70 km northwest of Phong Nha.

The Immortal is also the first Vietnamese film to be shot inside the cave system in Quang Tri.

In the film, many scenes were shot at Ken Cave, Chuot Cave, To Mo Cave, and To Mo Valley. Chuot Cave is impressive because of its inverted heart-shaped entrance, which serves as the starting point for the exploration of Tu Lan.

Ken Cave is considered one of the most beautiful water caves in the region, with giant, vertically standing stalactites creating a space that is both majestic and mystical.

The Ancestral Tomb Valley appears as an emerald-green basin nestled between tropical forests and limestone mountains, where underground streams form crystal-clear lakes reflecting natural light. This space possesses a pristine, tranquil yet mysterious beauty, becoming one of the most iconic images in the film.

Besides Tú Làn, the Hung Thoòng cave system, with its Tròn cave, Hùng cave, Thung cave, along with sinkholes hundreds of meters deep and natural lakes on the limestone mountains, also contributes to creating scenes of depth, emphasizing the scale and diversity of the "kingdom of caves".

The natural landscape of Quang Tri in the film is not only a visual backdrop but also clearly demonstrates its harshness and wildness. Filming in low light conditions and challenging terrain shows the film crew's great effort to preserve the original beauty of the landscape, rather than resorting to set design or special effects.

Besides Quang Tri, the film "The Immortal" expands its natural landscape to many other regions, creating a continuous panorama. Along the western branch of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, ancient forests and limestone valleys appear majestic, reminiscent of the Trường Sơn mountain range. Moọc Stream – a turquoise stream deep in the forest – offers a refreshing contrast to the fierceness of the mountains and caves.

Located in the coastal area, Da Nhay Beach impresses with its cluster of strangely shaped rocks along the shore, almost untouched by mass tourism development. As the waves crash against the shore, the undulating rock formations create a vibrant rhythm, enriching the natural landscape featured in the film.

The natural and cultural landscape of Northern Vietnam is also recreated through ancient villages that have preserved their traditional structures almost intact. Nom Village (Hung Yen province), with its banyan tree, ancient well, and moss-covered communal house, presents an image of a tranquil Northern Vietnamese countryside, closely intertwined with the natural landscape. Cuu Village (Phu Xuyen district, Hanoi) appears with its winding alleys and ancient houses nestled among nature, reflecting the harmonious interaction between people and their living environment.

In the South, the old villas in Tien Giang, Dong Nai, and Go Cong are situated amidst greenery and water, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Although man-made, these structures remain connected to the surrounding natural landscape, contributing to the diverse scenery depicted in the film.

From majestic caves and towering mountains to pristine seas and tranquil villages, the film portrays a vast, diverse, and culturally rich Vietnam. In this context, the natural landscape becomes a crucial element for cinema to tell the story of the country.
