Detective Kien: The Headless Case is a detective and horror film that continues the story after the events of The Last Wife, also directed by Victor Vu. After her husband's arrest, Hai Man (Dinh Ngoc Diep) returns to her hometown to live with her niece Nga (Doan Minh Anh), whom she considers her own daughter. One day, Nga mysteriously disappears. Hai Man then seeks the help of detective Kien (Quoc Huy). From here, many horrifying secrets gradually unfold.

Despite earning over 150 billion VND in its opening week, "Face Off 8: The Embrace of the Sun" faces the challenge of breaking the 480 billion VND record set by the seventh installment released last year. Meanwhile, "Detective Kien: The Headless Case" is likely to approach the highest-grossing film by Viktor Vu, " The Blue Eyes " (180 billion VND), which was released in 2019.
