Capture Ghosts

About This Movie

Capture Ghosts (2018) presents a rather unique blend of drama and horror, wrapped in the guise of a documentary. It follows four college students from Shandong University of Technology who delve into local ghost folklore in Heze City. What’s particularly striking is the way the film balances its pacing—there's a slow build as they gather interviews, layering the atmosphere with local tales that are both intriguing and unsettling. The performances feel authentic, almost like the students are genuinely discovering more than just stories. The practical effects, though modest, add an eerie texture that enhances its folk horror vibe. It’s an interesting take on cultural exploration mixed with supernatural elements, making it distinct in the genre.
