South Korea’s Cj E&M has launched a specialty film label, 413 Pictures specializing in the international thriller and horror genres. The new unit’s name reflects the numbers 4 and 13, which are considered unlucky in the East and West, respectively.

Guest reviewer Lee Broughton offers a look at writer-director Derek Nguyen’s intriguing debut feature, a finely observed supernatural gothic chiller-cum-illicit period love story, set on a French plantation in Vietnam towards the end of the First Indochina War. It’s also a spooky melodrama with a difference. As such, this well-acted, handsomely staged and stylishly shot Vietnamese-South Korean co-production is able to offset its scenes of uncanny terror and interracial romance with scenarios that pass comment on both the mechanics of colonialism and the physical violence and psychological damage that necessarily accompany the colonial process.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by the film's United Kingdom distributor, Eureka Entertainment. Director/writer: Derek Nguyen. Cast: Kate Nhung, Jean-Michel Richaud, Kim Xuan, Rosie Fellner, Kien An and Svitlana Kovalenko. The Housemaid aka Cô Haû Gaí is another cross-cultural film. From director Derek Nguyen (Buster's Mal Heart), this film was shot in Vietnam. It hosts both English and Vietnamese languages as an orphan girl searches for her path. Very slowly paced, The Housemaid is not essentially a horror film as Linh (Kate Nhung) ingratiates herself on a French plantation. The Housemaid is a blend of genres. And, the use of so many genres here upsets the film's tone. It is from period piece, to drama, to romance and into the horror realm. The film bounces all over the place. Only foreign film fans or fans of Asian cinema will enjoy this outing. To get...

The Housemaid is a horror film from director Derek Nguyen. Shot in Vietnam, this title will release, in the United Kingdom, early next year. The film's story involves an orphaned girl (Kate Nhung) and a rubber plantation owner. The ghost of the owner's wife still haunts the land. And, she is jealous of Sebastien's (Jean-Michel Richaud) new love interest. Also titled Cô Haû Gaí, this film will be released in a Blu-ray, DVD combo pack. A preview of the film's home entertainment release is hosted here. The trailer is a moody reveal. It shows the settings: 1953 and the plantation. Linh does not know what she has gotten into, once she crosses the threshold. There is a ghost baby and bloodied sheets to be changed. The ominous music is sure to unsettle horror fans. And, this ghostly love triangle will have its consequences. The Housemaid has been shot in Vietnamese. English...
