GET ready for a haunting mystery you can’t miss as local feature film 'Ada Hantu' premieres exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar today.

Eerie thrills abound in the film as it follows Aliff (Zahiril Adzim), a budding content creator and skeptic of all things supernatural, who challenges his friends to spend a night in an old, abandoned house – rumoured to have been once owned by a Japanese general who had brutally tortured and murdered everyone around him – to prove that ghosts aren’t real. As the night goes on and Aliff loses sight of his friends, he soon realises that the house is not all that he imagined it to be.

The film also stars Shiqin Kamal as Bariah, Hairul Azreen as Talha, Elvina Chua as Sasha, and Nafiez Zaidi as Jimmy.

Ada Hantu marks Hairul Azreen’s first time as a director on set and as he shares, it came with its challenges. “Directing a movie is a big responsibility, and one that isn’t easy to take on. Regardless, I was excited to work on Ada Hantu and was grateful to have been given the chance.”

“When he (Hairul) directs or has comments to make, he’s mindful about the directions that he gives and as actors, that was very encouraging for us,” said Shiqin Kamal.

The other cast members also added that Hairul Azreen was very clear about what he wanted. He knew what his actors were capable of, making for a pleasant experience whilst shooting.

Disney+ Hotstar will be the exclusive home of Ada Hantu as part of the platform’s multi-year agreements with leading Malaysian studios, including Act 2 Pictures, to support the local film community.

Viewers can enjoy the film along with other global and Malaysian titles on Disney+ Hotstar by subscribing to the service directly at DisneyPlusHotstar.my or via the Disney+ Hotstar app on Android and iOS devices, for RM54.90 for three months.

Astro Movies Pack customers can activate their special entitlement at astro.com.my/Disney now and start streaming their favourite shows on Disney+ Hotstar. Special packages with Disney+ Hotstar are available to other Astro customers at astro.com.my/Disney. – The Vibes, August 13, 2021
