Nam and Xuan, return to Nam's hometown to attend his father's funeral. However, their moment of mourning is brief as Nam's family begins to argue over the dog meat slaughterhouse they run. Nam and Xuan feel increasingly uncomfortable with the family's attitudes and the unsettling atmosphere of the home. Strange and inexplicable events start to occur around the house, and as family members fall victim to mysterious attacks one by one, Nam and Xuan are consumed by fear. Crimson Snout is the debut film of Luu Thanh Luan, who uses the eerie backdrop of a dog slaughterhouse to explore contemporary societal issues such as tradition versus modernity, generational conflicts, and gender issues through the lens of supernatural horror. The well-crafted character relationships, solid plot, and sophisticated horror style showcase the impressive potential of the rapidly growing Vietnamese film industry. After its release in Vietnam this January, it set a new box office record in Vietnamese cinema history.
