Synopsis

The film opens with scene An (Đinh Ngọc Diệp) constantly sleepwalking. Every time she wakes up she is in a distant place. Looking for solutions to these strange dreams, and at the same time finding a way to save the daughter who is slowly dying of cancer, An discovers the life of the immortal man (Quách Ngọc Ngoan) and the dark secrets.

From a gentle young man who is having a love affair with a beautiful singer named Liên (Jun Vũ), Hùng is assassinated and lost everything. On the day of his return, Hùng yearns to regain everything that was once his. Ambition and hatred lead Hùng to seek magic - charms, to fight death and to make those who harm him pay the price. However, "the more magical the spell, the more terrible the price", and the price that Hung has to pay is to become a slave of his own destiny.[2]

Reception

Reviews were mixed. One reviewer stated "the greatest value of the Immortal lies in the effort to pave the way, not the quality. From here, other directors can be more confident to exploit the unfamiliar fantasy genre. When a good movie comes out, one can recall that the Immortal started it all." but criticized "a messy script about details, lack of genre orientation, follows the overly and extremely weak formula in character building."[3]

Another review stated that overall, Immortal is "a very worth watching Vietnamese work, especially for those who are fans of Victor Vu", praising "elaborately invested cinematographic work, novel storylines and ghosts ... Although there is an incomplete ending, which can make many viewers disappointed and bewildered" [2]
