GALA

After returning from the resort vacation, Marcy, a mother and live streamer, experienced bizarre symptoms, and her accompanying staff member, Zhao, inexplicably passed away. A friend of Ah Xu, Tianren, uploaded the eerie footage captured by Zhao before his death, garnering significant online traffic. In a state of panic and rebellion, Ah Xu, either to uncover the truth or for the sake of false popularity, concealed this from her family and begged her sister to keep it a secret. She decided to join forces with Tianren to call upon internet friends to investigate the vacation resort.

Directed by DH Tseng, GALA leans on a strong ensemble — Mavis, Hsu Hao-hsiang, Lee En-yo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2024.
