Roh
Directed by Emir Ezwan
Cut off from civilization, a single mother puts her children on high alert when they bring home a young girl caked in clay.

A family fights for their souls when caught in the warpath of a vengeful forest spirit ripped straight from Malaysian mythology.

too slow
And that ending is powerful nice twist.
Fantastic and creepy absolutely loved it!!
Another cool asian holk horror
I really love these movies that showcase horror in a different context than the cultural west. This one takes place in rural Malaysia, with its sense of simplicity, beauty and isolation taking the forefront as a supernatural, folk horror tale unfolds in the background. The filmography is pure, not bogged down by overly-complicated plot lines or devices which really allow the slowly unfolding terror to shine. Well done.
