The movie project "First Ghost, Second Ghost" officially started filming, opening the way for a school horror work with Vietnamese spiritual colors, combining modern psychological and social elements.
The film is directed by Doan Quang, developed from the script of Toto Chan - Le Minh. Right from its announcement, the project has attracted attention when choosing a different approach: not simply exploiting sensational elements, but going deep into the burning issues in the school environment such as mental violence, collective pressure and silence before evil.
According to the crew's sharing, the movie "First Ghost, Second Ghost" is set in a classroom - where strange phenomena continuously occur after the mysterious death of a female student. When a new student accidentally sits in the position of the deceased, hidden secrets gradually arise, leading to a series of haunting and out-of-control events.
A noteworthy point is that the film exploits the "urban legend" element (familiar oral stories to many generations of students) in schools. The combination of a close school space and spiritual colors, nursery rhymes, and folk beliefs is expected to create a unique identity for Vietnamese horror films.
Not only stopping at the entertainment element, the work also raises questions about collective responsibility. The story revolves around the death of the character Suong - a female student who is isolated and bullied. When the truth is gradually revealed, tragedy is no longer a personal story but becomes the consequence of an indifferent collective.
The project gathers a cast of young actors such as Pham Ha Minh Thu, Khazsak, QLin and Linh Ngoc Dam. In which, Minh Thu plays the female lead An - a quiet but gradually strong student facing the truth; Khazsak plays Suong with a mysterious image; QLin transforms into a male student with a complex inner world; and Linh Ngoc Dam plays a villain with a manipulative personality and many hidden feelings.
In addition, the film also features familiar faces such as Phi Thanh Van, Tran Kim Hai, contributing to increasing the attraction of the project.
