The Rope Curse (2018)

Other name: 粽邪, Zong Xie, Проклятье веревки

Description:

The Rope Curse plunges into a chilling Taiwanese legend: the profound grievances of those who hang themselves accumulate within the rope's knots. To appease these restless evil spirits and safeguard the living, a coastal community observes an ancient, unsettling ritual, traditionally sending "knots" – initially sputum, now respectfully replaced with meat sputum – to the estuary. As ominous danger draws near, Jiawei urgently seeks guidance from a Master. Yet, his desperate plea for help unravels a shocking truth. The terrifying events stem from a decade-old secret, a mysterious "book" buried deep within his heart. Weiwei must confront this buried truth, deciphering the "knot of the book," to avert the impending horror and protect both himself and his beloved family from a sinister curse.
