No, it's not Sean Paul! In fact, it refers to my busy schedule as university undergrad and blogger. Life.
Probably you won't see any new upload in a couple of days but I will try my best to add some old school favorite of mine. In the mean time, there is definitely one film nobody has ever seen before. It is scary as hell. The title is 'Dendam Perawan Bunting. This '90s film is directed by allahyarham Hussein Abu Hassan and details a story about this typical pretty girl in a village who was raped and subsequently she got pregnant, returned from beyond the grave to avenge her shameful demise in a much fearful form known in Malay as pontianak. Now this is where it comes on quite hazy; something happened to that poor girl in the film and I can't actually recall what it was. Somehow I am convinced that she was either murdered or committed suicide which eventually led to her returning from the dead to kill the men who raped and got her pregnant. As always, when there is a villain there is also a hero. Then again, I am not sure who is the hero but he certainly is a guy who left the village when the incident took place (when the lady was violated). Upon returning to his seemingly quiet and peaceful little remote village, he came face to face with a terrifying apparition capable of inflicting serious physical injuries to unsuspecting passers by. One particular scene that I vividly remember and still terrifies me to this day is when the girl's apparition (pontianak) was wandering outside a hut deep in the woods. Her nasty laughter and cackling just echoed through the forest. Interestingly enough, the film was shot and produced in the early '90s at times when CGI was still quite scarce in Malay films. It was and still is convincingly scary. I just don't quite remember how the film ended but it somehow had to do with the girl's spirit being returned to her proper resting place and her terror spree was put to an end once and for all.
There was also another film featuring Hussein Abu Hassan himself along with Malaysia's most well known comedian Mr. Os. Only this time he played a role of vengeful undead with an edge on martial arts. Yes. This one particular ghost was male and he put up quite a vicious fight with anyone who got in his way. Again, I can't quite remember what the plot was but it certainly has something to do with him learning black magic, got into trouble and then was later killed. As a result of his adherence to black arts prior to his death, his decaying body was possessed with evil spirit in which he broke out of his grave to seek revenge upon those who had killed him. He now terrorised the small village in which he died and was able to shapeshift into a python. Dressed in torn and tattered gray baju Melayu, this vengeful zombie sought to destroy anyone strong enough to face him. One of the scenes that immediately comes to mind is one showing him eating a bowl of worms at the behest of his master Satan. The only thing I find unsettling about this particular film is how I have completely forgotten its name. There is no information available on the internet and little do people mention about it at all. In this case, it makes it even more difficult to acquire a decent copy of both films (this and Dendam Perawan Bunting). Being an ardent fan of kvlt classic horror films, I have spent some time browsing through search engines, forums and torrents in search of these two most elusive movies ever from my childhood years. I could hardly find contemporary Malay horror films to be scary enough to make me on the edge of my sit. No. The special effects albeit technologically advanced is so blatantly overproduced and as a result, you get another cheap Hollywood or Oriental horror rip offs. The scare doesn't stay that long unlike in movies from the early 90s and late 80s where everything was realistically produced with little to no CGI intervention at all.
So if anyone knows about these two films or is in possession of said items, please feel free to leave comment on this blog. Let me know if I can contact you since I need to get decent copies of said masterpiece and reserved them for those who have long sought to watch the scariest shit of all time!
