There’s an INFERNO in Vietnam and Victor Vu Started It

When was the last time you watched a Vietnamese movie? Probably never. Well now is a good time to start. You can begin by watching the trailer to the upcoming film INFERNO.

Yes folks, Vietnam does have their own film industry and Victor Vu’s latest film is a cool thriller that I would call the businessman’s version of The Bourne Identity. I know that may be a bold statement but read the synopsis and check out the trailer after the jump to see if my claim is a bit bold or just completely wrong.

Victor Vu’s past credits include the thrilling horror ghost story Spirits and the romantic comedy, Passport to Love. He returns to genre filmmaking with Inferno, a stylish looking film that appears to have some quality production value and a pretty good story behind it. While it may not be the most exciting trailer to view, it is very intriguing to watch the story unfold and understand the pace that Vu is going for.


Inferno stars Bi Mat, Can Phai, Chon Vui, and Co Nhung. I have posted the official synopsis and trailer below which comes to us via Twitch.
