Soul of a Demon

About This Movie

Soul of a Demon offers a raw look at family loyalty and the weight of past choices. Set against the backdrop of the gritty Nanfang’ao fishing port, it’s a slow burner that builds tension really well. The performances, especially from Tseng Yi-che and Cheng Yu-jen, have this almost palpable intensity that pulls you into their world. The atmosphere is thick, heavy with the inevitability of conflict and the scars of their shared history. There’s a mix of practical effects and grounded storytelling that keeps it feeling real. The pacing meanders at times, but it allows the characters' struggles to breathe, which might not suit everyone's taste, but definitely works in this context. A unique piece that reflects on redemption and the dark threads that bind family.
