Cambodian Folk Horror
"Tenement (2024) is a moody Cambodian folk-horror film that blends supernatural terror with themes of grief, family, cultural identity, and Cambodia’s traumatic past. Its decaying apartment setting is genuinely atmospheric, with striking cinematography and unsettling sound design creating a sense of constant unease. While the story can feel slow and somewhat confusing, particularly in its first half, the film gradually builds toward some disturbing imagery and an effective finale. It may not reinvent the haunted-house formula, but its Cambodian cultural elements give the familiar horror story a distinctive identity."
