Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam

The first film is Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam.Actually quite good and have a creepy moment.The 'Pontianak' or vampire is very vengeful ghost that have a long hair,blue face,sharp nail and very scarier.

The scenes that I never forget is when Maya Karin as Pontianak change into angry woman vampire and when the mirror was blow at the climax.

If you like this Asian horror film,I recommend.........4 stars

Although,now in Malaysia, the sequel was already release in cinema.

The sequel much better.Believe me,Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam 1 & 2 is the scary film that can make you scream.I'm wait for this film go to remake by Hollywood .......

I think this film is OK. I like it. Wonderful! I never thought Malaysian can make movie like this. Well, to compare it with other horror movies like Ju-On (both American and Japanese), The Ring (both American and Japanese), Amytville Horror it will be unfair. For the Malaysian standard I think this movie is a worth watching than other Malaysian horrors like Mistik, Potret Mistik, Di Ambang Misteri, Makar and other craps. That's all, it's a shame for you Malaysian to underestimate your own masterpiece. Besides it got lot of attention at the Spanish Science and Horror Movies Festival that gave Maya Karin the best horror actress. You should think about that.

'Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam'...yuk!

The first time i heard that title made me laugh so hard! Anyway, i start with the pros:

I-) The production looks good for a malay movie ( Maya Karin looks awesome)

II-) The music is superbly memorable

III-) There are SOME few frightening moments

Now to the cons....

I-) What the hell was that movie about?! It looks like a rush job.

II-) The editing are horrible ( make me confuse!)

III-) Rosyam Noor's horrible acting (He is a good actor! Deserve a better script)

IV-) The ending....ah! lame!

I think there's more but overall.. ** out of ****

the film is without a doubt, one of the worst movies ever. period. it tries hard to be a serious film but failed miserably on every level. the makeup doesn't show the characters' true age. (check out rosyam noor, he's suppose to be in his 50's but the makeup just put a few white strands on his hair and expected us to believe that he's old!), he even acted like a teenage retard in the beginning but gradually became normal halfway thru the story. what about the primadona's husband? how come a guy who went away in the beginning simply turned into an avenging ghost at the end of the film? when did he die? the comic relief is provided by ida nerina which is highly irritating! there were so many bad scenes that i almost gave up watching but for the sake of spending almost $20 on the vcd, i finished it although it's an ordeal. i think 'jutawan fakir' is more watchable because i was mentally prepared for a crap comedy, but this one really caught me by surprise! pls do not watch this film. if u still insist on watching this, get a pirate copy instead!

I for one doesn't like to criticize another person's film even though I am in the industry. My review of the film are:-

1. Acting - 6/10 (over acting by 'comedians' of the show) 2. Makeup - 3/10 (pleezz use visual effects!) 3. Editing - 5/10 (a bit confusing in the middle of the show) 4. Storyline - 6/10 (local legend) 5. Technical Production - 8/10 (nice colors - for a change for malaysian movie) 6. Music - 7/10 (good selection)

This is the first malaysian movie I have watched since P. Ramlee's movies. I was surprised to find out Shuhaimi Baba is a She and not a He!!!?? Sorry la ... I am not familiar with Malaysian film industry.

Good attempt and good luck for your future productions.
