Cai Lan Gong dives into the eerie world of rituals tied to ancestral beliefs, focusing on Aileen's uneasy journey as a Vegetable Basket Deity keeper. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing slowly builds tension, letting the viewer absorb the weight of tradition. Practical effects pepper the film, adding a gritty realism that enhances the horror elements. Performances feel raw and unrefined, which somehow suits the unsettling narrative. What stands out is the way it explores themes of obligation and the consequences of neglecting ancestral customs. There's a unique blend of cultural depth and supernatural terror that gives it a distinctive flavor, but it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
