The Faith of Anna Waters is a 2016 Singaporean-American supernatural horror film directed by Kelvin Tong, released in both Singapore and the United States. The movie follows Jamie, a skeptical American journalist, who travels to Singapore to investigate the mysterious death of her sister, Anna, an expatriate living in the city. Jamie’s search for answers draws her into a chilling web of mystery and folklore as she uncovers a connection to the local urban legend of the Jiangshi, a demonic entity believed to possess its victims.

Set against Singapore’s urban landscapes, the film blends suspense, horror, and cultural mythology, exploring themes of grief, belief, and the supernatural. Our team contributed to the production by creating visual effects that brought the Jiangshi and other supernatural elements to life, heightening the film’s tension and horror. Through 3D animation and compositing, we integrated terrifying spectral effects seamlessly with live-action footage, enhancing the eerie atmosphere and ensuring the horror sequences were visually immersive and compelling.

The combination of practical storytelling and advanced VFX allowed the supernatural elements to feel authentic while maintaining narrative impact. The Faith of Anna Waters stands out as a chilling exploration of personal loss and urban legend, showcasing Singaporean settings and folklore through a cinematic lens, enhanced by high-quality visual effects and VFX-driven supernatural sequences.
