This is a movie written and directed by people who were in coma for 20 years due to head trauma, woke up and got accidentally kicked in the head by a donkey and wrote this while being extremely concussed.

Seriously, did the movie blame a victim for the crime? Did an entire family come together to enact vengeance on a girl who is a victim of a crime just like their daughter? To everyone involved in the writing of this abomination.... You suck!!

After the commercial hit that is Dream Eyes (2019) followed by a dreadful year of the rampant Covid-19 pandemic, Victor Vu finally returns to his roots with the third unofficial installment of his famous Scandal franchise title The Guardian (2021) with yet, another tale about superstitious in the Vietnamese show business to little success because this is no doubt the most run off the mill movie he ever makes. The writing of The Guardian down to its characters beat and development is just a weak rehash version of the first Scandal movie only with a bigger budget now and although the first Scandal movie was ridden with plot holes it still accomplished what it set out to be while The Guardian strength relies on how much you know this famous guest star singer or care about the V-pop genre, to begin with. The movie got some nice spooky moments that will scare off the general audience who looking for a cheap thrill so watch it with caution.

Gave it a chance because recent 'spirit dolls' trend in Indonesia. Not only little scares over long duration, Victor Vu also provided little insights on how these pretty singers get into showbiz easily. Final act and twisted ending were quite interesting tho.
