According to director Bui Van Hai, horror comedy will be the main theme throughout the characters’ journey to find the bodies. “However, this theme will be adjusted appropriately to highlight the film’s message, as well as bring viewers a climax and exciting emotional experience about the first journey to find the bodies on Vietnamese screens,” director Bui Van Hai shared.

In his return to the role of director this time, director Bui Van Hai - who is better known as the action director for the films: Buddha's Fire, Life's Waves, Let's Wait for Tomorrow ... said he was quite nervous.

However, he admitted to receiving support from the crew, especially the two main actors Tien Luat and Ngo Kien Huy.
