Kong Tao

About This Movie

Kong Tao dives into the murky depths of the supernatural intertwined with urban greed. You’ve got this local developer, Song Longchen, who dabbles in Hexing to grab land, and it creates a thick tension throughout the film. The pacing is deliberate, letting the eerie atmosphere simmer as he’s really left a mess behind—deaths that seem too coincidental. The performances have this raw edge, especially from the supporting cast who grapple with disbelief and dread. And the practical effects? They really amp up the uncanny elements. It’s not your typical adventure flick; it’s a dark exploration of belief versus skepticism, and that’s what sets it apart in the genre.

Check out the practical effects work; it's pretty grounded. · The themes of belief and skepticism are quite thought-provoking. · Pacing makes it feel more like a slow burn than a rush.
