What it is about
Japanese pop singer Juliet travels to an Indigenous village in Taiwan to fulfill her late mother’s final wish of reconnecting with her ancestral roots. Joined by her childhood friend Amuy, Amuy’s boyfriend Demu and her skeptical manager, she embarks on a journey into a sacred mountain.
After unknowingly violating ancient Indigenous taboos, the group becomes trapped in a mist-covered forest where vengeful spirits prey on their deepest fears. As terrifying supernatural encounters unfold, hidden secrets and unresolved ties to the past emerge, revealing that their journey was never a coincidence. To escape, they must confront both the ancient spirits and the truths they have long tried to bury.
What to expect
Soda Voyu directs and stars in this Taiwanese comedy-horror that strands a Japanese pop singer and her friends on a sacred mountain after they break local taboos. The 89-minute movie stays light on gore — the IIB certificate points to tension and jump scares rather than outright brutality — and the humour comes largely from the clash between city attitudes and village customs. It is playing widely this week: 48 screenings across 9 cinemas in 7 districts, with tickets from HK$55. Chinese audio, English and Chinese subtitles.
