Lời Nguyền Cây Cầu Ma Ám, The Bridge Curse (2020)

The Bridge Curse (2020),also known as Lời Nguyền Cây Cầu Ma Ám in Vietnamese, made a strong impression on audiences after its release in the Taiwanese market in early 2020. Although the storyline may not be entirely new, the well-executed scenes and high-quality sound design captivated viewers. Despite its short duration of only 90 minutes, the film took audiences through a range of different emotions, instilling genuine fear and a series of hauntingly threatening moments. Directed by Lester Hsi, a relatively young and inexperienced director, the film falls under the genre of psychological horror. The main cast, including Summer Meng, J.C. Lin, Wan-Ru Zhan, Ning Chang, and Vera Yen, may not be well-known faces, but they deliver noteworthy performances. The story revolves around a group of adventurous university students from Dong Ho National University who decide to livestream their daring challenge of crossing the haunted female ghost bridge. Previously, this bridge was used by students to commute between the campus and dormitories, but it was forbidden after a girl committed suicide there due to a failed love affair. Despite their fear, the group persists in completing the challenge and documenting it on video. However, their actions come at a high cost, with the majority of the members paying with their lives.
