Writer-directors Sokyou Chea and Inrasothythep Neth craft plenty of creepy images amid their predictable story, and the well-meaning protagonists are easy to root for.

Tenement is as close to the book as possible, never really diverging from the tropes we’ve come to expect from creepy possession movies.

Even the crispest cinematography can’t fill a hole in a script, and Tenement has a big one at the center of it.

But finding your footing within the present chaos doesn’t automatically add clarity to the whys or hows of what’s going on. So, don’t expect any answers here. This is purely about experience.
