A Malaysian horror film that paid close attention to what its Indonesian neighbors have been doing this past decade. There is some local folklore that helps to set it apart, but unless you're familiar enough with the differences between both countries I don't think many people would notice. The setup is basic and director Ezwan isn't too interested in a fully detailed explanation of the (folk)lore. This is a show-don't-tell type of horror film that thrives on atmosphere. The build-up of dread and tension is excellent, it's just a shame that the location remains a little underused. A good horror film, not a great one. Read all
