一名男子在郊区一间空荡荡的房子里醒来，没有记忆，手臂上沾着血迹。当他疯狂地洗掉血迹时，他发现那不是他的。他在房子周围发现了一些便利贴，上面写着:“不要呆在这个房间里。”“别出去。”“别下楼。”他感到困惑，试图追踪这些神秘的信息，最终发现了两件事。他与母亲和女儿的记忆有某种联系，还有住在这所郊区房子里的恶魔。当他越来越接近解开他为什么在那里的谜团时，恶魔变得越来越强大，考验着他的生存意志。

　　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.
