星名美津紀:純情恋愛 2

　　20世纪50、60年代，亨利·韦斯特博士（威廉·麦鲍瑟 William Mapother 饰）创建了灵学实验室阿提克斯研究所，针对超能力、透视、读心术、隔空取物等边缘学科展开研究。虽然遭遇了无数的挫折与嘲笑，但是韦斯特博士仍坚持不懈朝着目标前进。1975年，他的实验室因某起骗局而被迫关闭，就在此时一个略显神经质的女人朱迪思·温斯黛德（莱亚·吉斯特德 Rya Kihlstedt 饰）被送到实验室。她之前因伤而拥有了超能力，而其看似货真价实的超能力迅速令见多识广的科学家们大为折服。在这一过程中，朱迪思的能力不断加强，甚至已经到了失控的程度。　　这已远远超出了超能力的范畴，谜团背后恶魔的身影时隐时现……

A story of redemption in a world gone dark.

　　Following her mother’s death, manga artist Soriya travels to her ancestral home in Phnom Penh, with hopes of reconnecting with her distant family and using the visit as inspiration for her work. All goes well initially. Renting an apartment in Metta, a rundown Khmer Rouge-era housing complex, her visit to her maternal relatives finds her welcomed with open arms. But Soriya’s waking hours in the apartment and its surroundings are punctuated by terrifying, bloody visions, almost as though she were a conduit for horrors of the past wanting to seep into the present.　　Inrasothythep Neth and Sokyou Chea’s blood-chilling psychological horror explores a personal and political past through the present, transforming a characterful space into an insidious environment. Surrounded by modern high-rises, this decrepit structure, with its brutalist architecture and peeling surfaces, is a relic from a dark period in history whose painful memories it has absorbed. In tracing Soriya’s ominous journey back to her roots, Tenement hints at a necessary reckoning with Cambodia’s political past without overplaying its historical dimension. It’s an impressive work from a woefully underrepresented national cinema.
