There are three chapters: an actress seeking everlasting beauty; a magician who makes a deal with evil; and a psychic seeking the remains of a deceased girl.

Reviews:
“The plot of Ghost Story Near Home has the advantage of exploiting urban legends, which are familiar ghost stories of the people, so they create a closeness but obsession. But that’s also why the plot is a bit simple […] Fortunately, the film only has three stories and is quite short, so watching it is not boring.” Anchoi [translated from Vietnamese]

Release:
In Vietnam, the movie was released on February 11, 2022, and was a massive hit. Vietnamese Horror Story is now available on the Screambox streaming platform in the US.
