All Suspects

About This Movie

All Suspects, from 2024, is a nuanced crime mystery that pulls you into the eerie ambiance of the 'Five Incense' homestay. The setting—a blend of vacation bliss and foreboding—feels almost claustrophobic with its eclectic mix of characters. A policeman, a few detective novelists, and even a wandering pianist named Cao Enqi make for an intriguing ensemble, and once the homestay owner and a waitress are murdered, tension escalates beautifully. The film plays with the theme of identity, blurring the lines of trust among guests. It doesn't rush; the pacing allows for subtle character development and atmospheric tension. Performances are solid, especially from the ensemble, and the practical effects, though sparse, enhance the unfolding mystery.
