In
the prologue, villagers warn a young husband that his wife is cheating
on him... "Right now!" He rushes home to find his wife - sure
enough - doing the nasty with her boyfriend in the middle of the afternoon.
After angry words ["You only married me to get your citizenship!"],
he discovers the closet with her black magic shrine. Losing control,
the spurned husband stabs his Chinese immigrant wife multiple times,
killing her. But despite efforts by the village priest, the woman returns
from the grave as a flying banshee [see pic, below left]. Fast
forward, through the credit sequence, to the main plot: three teenagers
[Jo, Luna and Sandra] missed the bus that was supposed to take them
to their cultural dance seminar. In order to make it on time, the girls
hitch a ride with Kent and Zack, two boys on their way to an afternoon
of fishing. But very soon their ride breaks down and they find themselves
in an area that the locals call "cursed." No one is safe.
This
is one of numerous recent hit horror films from Malaysia, spurred by
the success of HISTERIA
(2008) and KHURAFAT
[Mysticism]
(2011).
