\n\tVietnamese found-footage horror film \u201cL\u1ea7u Ch\u00fa Ho\u1ea3: The Deadliest Mansion\u201d is opening in North American theaters on Sept. 4, with Mockingbird Pictures placing the title across AMC, Regal and Cinemark circuits.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirected by H\u00f9ng Tr\u1ea7n, the film became Vietnam\u2018s first theatrical found-footage horror release and turned into a breakout hit after its June debut. It topped the local box office, drew more than one million admissions and crossed VND78 billion ($3 million) in cumulative grosses.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story pulls from a well-known Vietnamese urban legend: a band of young streamers force their way into the notoriously haunted H\u1ee9a family estate, hoping the stunt will bring them fame and money. Instead their broadcast captures a dormant, malevolent force stirring back to life, pulling them into the century-old tale of the \u201cGhost of the H\u1ee9a Family.\u201d The entire film was shot in found-footage style.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cL\u1ea7u Ch\u00fa Ho\u1ea3: The Deadliest Mansion\u201d was produced by Runup Vietnam alongside South Korea\u2019s Hive Media Corp, marking the Korean company\u2019s first production investment outside its home market. Hive has backed several of Korea\u2019s biggest recent releases, including \u201c12.12: The Day,\u201d \u201cInside Men,\u201d \u201cThe Man Standing Next\u201d and \u201cHarbin,\u201d along with the found-footage horror title \u201cGonjiam: Haunted Asylum,\u201d which drew more than 2.6 million admissions in South Korea.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFound footage has the power to make audiences feel as though they are experiencing the horror themselves,\u201d said producer Lee Jin Sung. \u201cWorking with Hive Media Corp allowed us to bring that experience to a uniquely Vietnamese legend while preserving the identity and atmosphere that make the story distinctive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMockingbird Pictures is overseeing the North American theatrical rollout as part of its broader effort to bring Vietnamese commercial films to international audiences.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018L\u1ea7u Ch\u00fa Ho\u1ea3: The Deadliest Mansion\u2019 delivers one of the most intense Vietnamese horror experiences in recent years,\u201d said Phong Duong, business director of Mockingbird Pictures and one of the executive producers at sister company Bluebells Studios. \u201cWe believe this is a film that can travel, and we want audiences around the world to experience that fear for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMockingbird Pictures\u2019 distribution footprint spans more than 60 new theatrical releases a year in Vietnam and upwards of 100 titles across post-theatrical platforms, reflecting the company\u2019s growing focus on bringing Southeast Asian films to international audiences.<\/p>\n
