'The Ghost of Hui Family' (, ) is a 1972 Vietnamese 35mm black and white film directed by L Hong Hoa.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA9o-tQfzD4 Trailer]

Plot



The film is based on a tale about a wealthy family in Saigon. It was the first horror film made in Vietnam.

Background



In the early 1970s, many managers of cailuong theater chains were forced to shut due to the financial pressure that foreign language films put them under. The D L Hng Theatre was able to avoid the crash and, in a gamble to save the troupe, and inspired by the successes of MGM's 1959 film 'Ben-Hur', tycoon Xun (bu Xun) founded D L Hng Films and employed filmmaker L Hong Hoa.

Screenplayer Nguyn Thnh Chu named the movie 'The Ghost of Uncle Hoa's Family', which was based on a tale involving the family of Jean-Baptist Hui Bon Hoa. However, Hui Bon Hoa's descendants sued the studio and forced them to change the name to 'The Ghost of Hui Family'. It was filmed in Th c, Bin Ha and Da Lat in 1972, and was the only product of D L Hng company.

The final scene was filmed in the real private cemetery of the Hui Bon Hoa family with the permission of the family.
