Vietnamese moviegoers are expressing frustration with the overwhelming prevalence of horror films in local cinemas. A recent complaint highlights that approximately 80% of films currently showing fall into the horror genre. The criticism centers on a perceived lack of originality, with many films relying on tired tropes involving spiritualism, ghosts, and séances. This saturation is leading to audience fatigue and a desire for more diverse cinematic offerings. The issue suggests a potential imbalance in film distribution and production within Vietnam’s cinema landscape. Viewers are seeking a wider range of genres beyond the current dominance of horror. This trend raises questions about catering to audience preferences and fostering a more varied film industry.
