Vietnamese thriller films promise to entertain audiences in second half

Vo Dien Sat Nhan (Nightmares), a directorial debut by Dinh Cong Hieu, came to cinemas on August 26.

The film revolves around a successful doctor named Phuong Anh. Her perfect life is destroyed after a failed surgery. She constantly dreams of being killed by a faceless killer every night. Horribly, her nightmares are coming true.

The film features famous actress Phuong Anh Dao, who played main roles in award-winning movies such as Chang Vo Cua Em (My Mr Wife) by Vietnamese-American director and film producer Charlie Nguyen, and Bang Chung Vo Hinh (Invisible Evidence) by Trinh Dinh Le Minh.

Hieu, who is known for popular web dramas and sitcoms, told local media that after many years of making web dramas, he wanted to make his first movie and Vo Dien Sat Nhan came to him as fate.

“When I was looking for an appropriate movie to make, I received the invitation from the film’s production company. Luckily, thrillers are my strength,” he said.

Hieu began his directing career in 2015 and was one of the pioneers in making web dramas in Vietnam.

His popular works include Ban Gai Toi La Trum Truong (My Girl is Boss in School) and Saigon Gangsters, earning millions of views on YouTube.

He has also made sitcoms such as Quan Ca Phe Nga 8 (Coffee Shop) and Co Yeu Noi Di Dung Ngai (Say Love, Don’t Be Shy).

MAR6 Pictures has surprised fans since releasing the first teaser of its highly-anticipated upcoming movie in 2022, Co Gai Tu Qua Khu (Girl from the Past), a work by young directors Bao Nhan and Nam Cito, on August 15.

The teaser highlights a bloody conflict between two main characters who are sisters, and has attracted more than 10,100 views and received good comments by audiences.

The producer invited A-list actresses Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc and Kaity Nguyen to play the two main characters, and veteran actress Le Khanh to ensure the film’s quality and ticket sales.

Kaity Nguyen, who became known with her debut role in Em Chua 18 (Jailbait), said: “This time, I will come back with a completely different image. I’m excited and can’t wait to share my new movie to all the audiences.”

All the actresses performed in the chick-flick series called Gai Gia Lam Chieu (The Tricky Ladies) about love and women created by young directors Bao Nhan and Nam Cito in 2016.

Its latest and fourth movie in the series, Gai Gia Lam Chieu V – Nhung Cuoc Doi Vuong Gia (Camellia Sisters – Living Like Royalty) was released in March 2021 and earned VND55 billion (US$2.35 million) in ticket sales.

Co Gai Tu Qua Khu is set to premiere on November 18.

Red Vermicelli: Dak Lak’s Delicious Delicacy

Image
Buon Ma Thuot not only has premium coffee with a unique delicious taste, but also many other famous delicacies such as wine, marinated chicken, fragrant rice tubes, and especially the excellent red vermicelli. Red vermicelli is a popular specialty of Dak Lak. Although there are some similarities with vermicelli in the South, the famous red vermicelli in the “capital of coffee” is very different. It has big, firm vermicelli, similar to Southern beef vermicelli but slightly better, about the size of a chopstick, chewy and crispy. Different from sophisticated dishes like pho in Hanoi, vermicelli with fish in Quy Nhon, bun bo Hue, or vermicelli in Can Tho, Ban Me red vermicelli is extremely rustic, strange, and especially delicious. At first glance, red vermicelli is quite similar to crab vermicelli, but this dish is made from pure crab meat, pureed pork and fat, vegetables, bean sprouts, and of course, boiled quail eggs.
