The suspense drama follows the story of three seemingly unrelated characters that are all impacted by the discovery of a charred corpse near a small Chinese mountain village.
A review from the Hollywood Reporter says that, after a stiff start, "A Coffin in the Mountain" is "resurrected" by its "sturdy plot" and "solid performances."
The 119-minute feature is part of the film festival's "Critic's Week," which features nine works from independent filmmakers around the world.
