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
