Tet in Hell Village is a horror series adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by writer Thao Trang. The film is a series of nightmares with a series of continuous deaths of people in Hell Village - the hideout of the descendants of a once-notorious gang of bandits.
"Tet O Dia Nguc" is a long horror film.
Bringing the Hell village from the book to life through the majestic scenery of the Northeastern mountains at the ancient village of Sao Ha (Ha Giang), the whole group spent more than 10 days searching to find a village that was 99% similar to the writer's imagination.
To create such eye-catching footage, the crew went through many difficulties, including the producer saying that the crew had to postpone another project to focus on Tet O Lang Dia Nguc. They were drawn into the massiveness of horror and folklore material, but encountered many challenges because it was difficult to find reference materials.
Due to the rugged terrain, the team members had a hard time transporting their belongings and equipment. The whole team had to work in the bitter cold of the northern mountains, without electricity, water, or phone signal.
Compared to many series on the Vietnamese market, the film is considered to be far superior in terms of setting. Many majestic scenes are captured in the frame, adding mystery and a strong, ancient, ghostly quality.
In addition, the film is crafted by an experienced team, with creative staging and camera angles, and a large level of investment that meets cinema standards for each episode.

With the film's costumes, the director required them to be purely Vietnamese in style, material, and embroidered patterns that clearly portrayed each character.
When creating the costume concept, the crew used basic designs such as the four-panel shirt and the cross-collar to accurately describe the character's characteristics, while also making variations to ensure a balance between traditional elements and contemporary trends.
People in the mountains and the plains have different materials, such as the village chief Mr. Thap has a hat covered in fabric, different from the usual, suitable for daily wandering. Thap Nuong is a fictional character, with no clear ethnicity or region, so the design team was free to be creative, combining many styles of clothing and face painting of Northern women of different periods.
To successfully portray the image of Mrs. Van, the ferryman who carries souls, the costume team had to pull out each thread on a 2-meter piece of fabric to make the character's coat, or the hat was covered with tassels that fluttered lightly when the wind blew, creating a ghostly atmosphere for the film.
Breaking the safety limit, the crew did not use special effects, but increased the horror and creepiness of the characters with 100% special makeup, meticulous to the smallest detail, bringing eye-catching visual effects to the audience.
From the face to the body of the character who died in a fire, died in the water, turned into a demon, turned into a wolf, had a pockmarked face, a tumor, a fake fetus... everything was meticulously created. This process cost a lot of money and took a lot of time and effort from the crew, to bring the image of the character to the original horror.
Even, like the Fire Wolf makeup scene of Meritorious Artist Phu Don, the whole team had to spend more than 7 hours preparing. Or the character Thap Nuong played by Lan Phuong had to keep the special makeup for 28 hours to complete the scene.

In Vietnam, it is rare for a series to be invested in carefully in terms of script, setting, and filming as elaborately as Tet O Lang Dia Nguc. The series promises to be the most anticipated cinematic-quality television masterpiece of K+ Television to conquer Vietnamese audiences.
The film will air first on K+CINE channel and K+ App at 8pm every Monday and Tuesday from October 23.
