Ji Wu

About This Movie

So, 'Ji Wu' is an intriguing piece, really. You can feel this creeping dread throughout, and the atmosphere is thick with unease. The pacing? It’s methodical, letting the tension build slowly, which I kind of appreciate. The plot revolves around Fang Cheng, visiting this old house with her fiancé. There’s something deeply unsettling about Su's mother appearing only at night. It’s like a ghost story steeped in familial secrets, and the practical effects add a raw touch that feels refreshing. Performances are strong, particularly in how they convey that mixture of love and horror. It’s distinctive for its blend of psychological horror and folklore without ever feeling cliché.
