The spirit is trying to take their daughter away. In the end the oldest resident of the area, Pak Tua will rescue the family from a terrible haunting.
The Review :
Definitely one of the better Malay movies I have seen in a long time.
Although it is not a Hollywood blockbuster I enjoyed the movie. The story plot was very convincing and was not only based on the horror aspect but also on the family drama. The performances of the actors was above standard and no overacting like in some Malay movies.
The movie had some flaws to.
The lady ghost at the bus stop looked more funny than scary with a moustache. I still don't know if it was natural or attached.
Also the look of the old Lady ghost looked more funny than scary once her face was revealed.
Also the end was a bit weak when they tried to use some special effects but failed to make it look convincing.
Overall it is a movie worth watching and it will definitely give you some trills and chills and you will jump up more then once in your seat!
Rating : 7/10
