Seventh Moon

About This Movie

Seventh Moon is an interesting ride through traditional Chinese folklore, wrapped in a horror-thriller package. It captures the eerie vibe of the 'Hungry Ghost' festival with some pretty atmospheric visuals. The pacing feels relentless, as Melissa and Yul find themselves entangled in an ancient custom that plays out like a nightmare. The practical effects are commendable, adding a visceral layer to the supernatural elements. Performances are decent, and there's something haunting about the couple's growing sense of dread. What stands out is the film's commitment to cultural authenticity, making the horror feel rooted in something real, rather than just a backdrop for scares. It’s worth exploring not just for its thrills, but also for its deep dive into folklore.
