Program Note
Twenty years ago, an inexplicable mass suicide occurred in the millionaire Yang household, where entire household hanged to their deaths at the exact same hour, place and height. Twenty years alter, distant relative James inherits the Yang house moving in with his fiancee. To celebrate the engagement, they invite their friend to their new home and stay the night. As the celebration begins, mysterious events also start happening in the house. James will unearth more secrets about Yang family and himself. As the theme indicates; sacrifice and strict family tradition, [The Heirloom] is very oriental. But it is a very nicely touched film that also has a universal element that everyone can sympathize with; a family. Director Chen said, “Since Taiwan doesn`t have a history of making horror films, I fully anticipated many technical difficulties.” Considering what he said, you will appreciate how well this film is made.
