The Bridge Curse - 2020 - 6/10
AKA - Nü Gui Qiao // 女鬼桥
There is “found footage” (a style I detest) early, but that subsides after ten minutes.
Dual narratives. An investigative journalist examines the deaths of five students four years earlier.
Weaving the activities of those same five on the night they died during a “courage test”.
At midnight, near the bridge where many students have died, 13 steps become 14.
This is heavy on suspense and tension, with little gore.
After the midway point, the plot grows increasingly twisted, and imaginative.
Stick with this – into and past the credits!
Hey, creative opening graffiti for producers. Nice job.
