Thai horror returns to Vietnamese theaters with "The Village of Ghosts".

Maintaining its strong traditional cultural horror elements, the film is an interesting blend of genres, leaving viewers both scared and amused, while speculating about what will happen next in the most haunted village on screen today.

In recent years, Thai horror films have increasingly solidified their position in the hearts of Vietnamese audiences. Instead of focusing on jump scares, filmmakers concentrate on exploring fears stemming from psychology and familiar folk beliefs.

The resounding success of a series of box office "blockbusters" such as the Organ Eater franchise (total revenue of over 237 billion VND for all 3 parts), The Strange Temple (total revenue of nearly 100 billion VND for all 4 parts), or the film 404: Run Away Now achieving 100 billion VND in box office revenue, proves that viewers are "nourished" by stories rich in depth and cultural richness, while still retaining the characteristic horror of Thailand.

From there, the Haunted Village was born as a perfect successor, but with a more refined and "tricky" twist.

Still deeply rooted in local culture and intriguing ghost stories, director Poj Arnon's film (the creator of the " Temple of the Stranger ") cleverly combines dark humor to deliver a unique emotional journey for Vietnamese audiences.

The Haunted Village is set in Kokaloak, known as the "Village of Misfortune." This is a terrifying forbidden area, rumored to be the gathering place of hundreds of restless spirits who have yet to find peace.

The story begins when a group of daring young people decide to infiltrate this village in search of answers to a terrifying secret from its past.

As mentioned, instead of a barrage of jumpscares that leave viewers stunned, The Haunted Village weaves horror into a dark, eerie atmosphere, permeated by negativity and unease.

Mysterious phenomena appear, and a multitude of ghostly spirits loom large before viewers, keeping them on the edge of their seats. In addition, the detective elements of The Haunted Village are captivating. The director also paid close attention to this, with the identity of the villain behind the crime being eagerly anticipated just as much as the evil forces themselves.

Besides the setting and the cast of demons running rampant, The Haunted Village It possesses a distinctive storytelling style, maintaining intense tension without resorting to excessive gore.

The village's fear stems from the very feelings of doubt and uncertainty that easily arise in the human mind, when eyes can now deceive their owners, and even those closest to you may not be truly innocent.

The interesting part is that, as things gradually spiral out of control, the group of young people's plans are completely disrupted, plunging them into hilarious and awkward situations.

The blend of horror and humor that made Arnon famous in The Haunted Temple is taken to new heights in The Haunted Village , creating a multifaceted and shocking emotional journey that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

The Haunted Village movie It will be released in theaters nationwide starting May 15, 2026.
