The film revolves around the poor life of couple Phu (Avin Lu) and Thao (Tin Nguyen). After the shock of a miscarriage and the fear of losing their soon-to-be-born child, the two increasingly fell into a deadlock. Tragedy continued to strike when Mrs. Thuan (Phu's mother) passed away due to lack of money for medical treatment.

In a moment of despair, Thao followed the advice of Mrs. Tanh, a worshiper in the neighborhood, and performed a ritual to invite "dead souls" to act as ghosts to protect the house and keep the fetus safe.

However, what Thao did not expect was that the "ghost" that was summoned was actually the soul of Mrs. Thuan - her mother who had just passed away.

At first, everything seemed to go smoothly. But later, this spiritual entity began to show unusual signs, leading to a series of mysterious and scary phenomena. Secrets buried for many years in the family are gradually revealed, pushing the characters into a spiral of tragedy with no way out.

Fear comes from desperation instead of simple scares

Ma Xo's biggest difference lies in the way it builds fear. The film creates a haunting feeling with an oppressive, heavy atmosphere that lasts throughout the work. Viewers are not only afraid of ghosts but also clearly feel the deadlock of people pushed to the wall by life.

The script is logical and emotional

One of the highly appreciated points is the ability to persuade viewers. The seemingly irrational decisions of Phu and Thao become understandable when placed in the context of poverty, loss and despair they face. The audience can disagree with the character's actions but still understand the reason why they made that choice. This is a factor that helps the film avoid the forced feeling common in many previous Vietnamese horror works.

Folk material Vietnam is exploited effectively

Ma Xo continues to exploit spiritual beliefs that have long existed in Vietnamese life. The concept of "ghost" which is familiar in folk culture is brought to the screen in a familiar way but still mysterious enough to stimulate viewers' curiosity. It is this folk element that helps the film create its own identity instead of copying the Western horror formula.

Acting is the highlight of the movie

The cast of Ma Xo received a lot of positive feedback. Tin Nguyen and Avin Lu well portray the image of a poor working couple with complex inner struggles.

In particular, Meritorious Artist Hanh Thuy left many impressions in the role of Mrs. Thuan. Although he does not appear much, this character becomes the center of the entire story, contributing to the most haunting scenes in the film.
