Tiger Stripes: A Malaysian coming of age shape-shifter body horror film. Zaffan (Zafreen Zairizal) attends a conservative school, along with the other girls she is forced to wear a hijab and long robes. Being a rebel she takes the hujan off and dances on Tik-Tok. This gets her in trouble at school and with her pious mother. She is the first in her class to menstruate and this gradually leads to her being excluded by her friends and bullied. Her body changes though in surprising ways. Blotches, stiff hairs to start with but then claws develop. This is a tale which involves many Fortean tropes demons of the forest which Zaffan sees sitting in trees, mass hysteria of schoolgirls having fits, an exorcist Imam, a shape-shifting transformation into Werechild. Mostly though it is a story about revolt against medievalist misogyny and a girl fighting for her freedom. There is one scene in particular where Zaffan deals with an Imam which fair gladdened my heart and made me laugh out loud. It is in the tradition of Carrie and Ginger Snaps. Tiger Stripes: was released in Malaysia in a heavily censored version, and the director has disowned that cut of the film. Written and Directed by Amanda Nell Eu. 8/10.
"Zaffan" (Zafreen Zairizal) is a young girl merrily enjoying her childhood until her body decides it's time to grow up - and so she awakens horrified and bloody. Her mother reassures her and off she goes to school - only to find that her friend, the prefect "Farah" (Deena Ezral) is rather disgusted by her new found maturity. It isn't long before "Zaffan" is being ostracised by her classmates and no matter how hard she tries, she cannot re-engage with her pals. The frustration this causes starts to manifest itself in dreams, then in more than those - in physical changes that seem to be rendering her more animal than human - as epitomised by her new favourite snacks! In a rural Malaysian community that is not without it's superstition, her shunning becomes more complete - but what can she do? Can the enigmatic "Dr. Rahim" (Shaheizy Sam) help out with his internet-friendly method and speciality products? The production standards aren't the best, but there's an engaging effort the young and enthusiastic Zairizal as she learns to shin up trees in record time and manage to work well enough with the very limited visual effects. It's not without some humour - especially at the end, and that helps it move along quickly with just enough emphasis on a subject rarely touched upon by cinema anywhere. It'll be fine on the television, and it is worth ninety minutes.
- Let children be children. Let teenagers be teenagers. Embrace the differences and the different stages of life.
- That girl just wanted to play. They didn't let her play nicely, so she started playing naughty.
- Now I understand periods a bit better. I think.
- Powerful performance in the lead role by Zafreen Zairizal.
- I hate bullies. One of those children (Farah) should have also had her head cut off.
- The special effects in motion aren't great, but oddly, they add some charm.
- Excellent soundtrack, a raw portrayal of certain closed-minded thoughts, certain traditions, and how they can affect both children and how they can affect both children and adults.
- Quite artistic. At its own pace. Some of the most beautiful shots of the year. A luxurious directorial debut.
Not too big of a fan of the plot (personally felt some aspects were stretched to the point of comic absurdity), but I thought some scenes were excellent.
Also, the lead girl is superb. She brought to life the struggle with identity and transition from childhood to adolescence quite powerfully. It helps that the supporting characters were all very bad actors, so that her talent was more pronounced and better highlighted.
There's that typical clichéd attempt to tokenize the Indian and Chinese, but luckily it wasn't shoved right in the face of the audience.
The movie itself also felt a bit too overwrought and long.
Is this a horror film? It shouldn't be categorized as such, just because there's a few horror elements.

Coming-of-age allegory/tale by way of demons (both personal and actual) with a dash of some werewolf energy. Absolutely gorgeous directing and cinematography, and main girl Zafreen Zairizal who played Zaffan was incredible. Fierce but fragile. What a performance. Big props also for the makeup and effects. Really different and beautiful creature design work. Also hi hello writer director if you see this please make a soundtrack playlist on Spotify :) Opening song had me dancing, and my heart always skips a beat when I see hot pink credits and title. This is a movie for all the cute ragey girlies.
