SANTAU
After watching SANTAU, I couldn’t believe that it was a Malay horror movie. Why? Because it carried the suspense and terror of a Indonesian horror flick (i.e POCONG, KUNTILANAK…etc).
Directed by Azhari Zain, this film succeeds in setting the atmosphere and building-up the story. Filmed with an eerie setting , it starts very slow then progresses to a big finish. For me, this works because Azhari manage to tap into our collective fears of what could be lurking in the dark. There are no big bangs, just sudden loud noises, constant shrieking and overdone look-behind-you shots that work effectively.
This mundaneness makes the horror even more believable. The pacing needs a little work though as the shocks kinda get repetitive at some point.
Although I am not a big fan of Malay movies but I do recommend SANTAU to ease your study stress, especially MMU folks 
. I think that’s a very good reason to go and watch it… Hahaha. For full enjoyment, watch this film with your friends.

P.S: Watched this movie with Papakins, Nasrulnizam, Anique and Syazmin yesterday.
I watched this movie with friends..they had to drag me in…it was a nice effort but as a whole, very disappointing…and I couldn’t imagine if this movie could even make it to the international level, let alone outside Malaysia…a huge embarrassment to the Malaysian people..it’s a laughingstock..just because of one major error…OMG!..how could they not even aware of a little mistake that could turn the whole movie into a major disaster…they can’t even spell the word DEADLINE correctly! This is serious people! There is a huge difference between (news) DATELINE and (assignment) DEADLINE…Come on, at least do some homework before shooting…even the English subtitle had the wrong spelling! I couldn’t believe my eyes but the damage was done! Well, it should have been a great effort, but after seeing a few big loopholes, I was too embarrass to hold my head up high..and still am..anyway, did you watch the new Scenario movie…hahaha…if u ask me, it’s a poorly dubbed movie, totally not my cup of tea..but for a typical Malaysian, it must be one of the best Malay movies so far, a hit maker..lol..or am I wrong? This is just my humble opinion..
