In an article published on May 11, Variety reported that Vietnam-based Skyline Media had acquired worldwide sales rights to “The 10th House,” a folk horror feature from ProductionQ, with the title set to be introduced to buyers at the Cannes Film Market.

According to Variety, the pre-production project is the latest work from director-producer duo Tran Huu Tan and Hoang Quan. Drawing on a little-explored strand of Vietnamese folk belief, in which house builders are said to conceal hidden spells within building structures, the film follows a young man who begins recording unsettling incidents in his home after his father’s unexplained death, before uncovering a forbidden ritual linking the property to a widening chain of violent supernatural events.

Previously, “Vietnamese Horror Story” topped the Vietnamese box office in 2022 as the year’s highest-grossing horror film, breaking opening-day and presale records before screening in more than 45 countries and territories, including at France’s Gérardmer International Fantastic Film Festival.

“The Soul Reaper” followed in 2023, surpassing its predecessor to become the biggest Vietnamese horror release at the time before later being acquired by Netflix for distribution in Southeast Asia.

Tran Huu Tan and Hoang Quan later released “The Sisters,” which was selected for the Limelight section at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, sold to more than 12 territories and became the highest-grossing Vietnamese period horror film on record.
