Written and directed by Emir Ezwan, the Malay-language indie arthouse horror film details the story set in the past of an young girl that brings frightening predictions and unwelcoming incidents to a family living in a forest.
The film had its international premier at the Singapore Film Festival back in November last year. – The Vibes, November 5, 2020
