My Grandson

About This Movie

So, 'My Grandson' is this fascinating blend of drama, horror, and mystery. The film digs into grief through the lens of a devout Taoist grandmother, Swee Hua, who goes to some pretty dark places after her grandson's tragic car accident. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, which really ramps up the tension. You can almost feel the weight of her sorrow as she engages a medium to uncover the truth. The practical effects are unsettling, adding to that eerie atmosphere. It’s distinct in how it fuses cultural beliefs with personal loss, presenting a haunting narrative that lingers. The performances, especially from the grandmother, bring an authenticity that’s hard to shake off.
