    Don't waste your $

    Low cost production,horrible zombie movie....wait.... it's suppose to be a horror movie isn't it or am I missing something? Great cast but what a letdown with a predictable and lousy plot.Seriously Glen.... I think u can do better.

    Scary good time.

    The plot was somewhat predictable, but it was still spooky and fun. And, the cast was great too. Worth a watch.

    Extremely aesthetic but not very satisfying

    The best thing of the movie is its stunning aesthetic: the costumes, the colours, the locations... everything is just stunning. The figure of the Pontianak is also very interesting and has a lot of potential. Sadly, a lot of this gets wasted. The movie has a weird and inconsistent pacing and a lot of scenes feel like fillers. Some things in the script don't even make much sense. But overall I recommend it.

    Don't waste your money

    Terrible show. Plot was predictable. The only horror I get is from watching a show this terrible. The very definition of pontianak is totally lost in this movie. Do you guys even know what is a pontianak and its portrayal? The settings are so bad that at times you can totally tell that it's done in a cheap movie studio.

    A Fair Attempt At A Classic

    I had high expectations for an entertaining, possibly powerful retelling of this classic horror tale by Sifu Glen and Gavin (et al).

    However, while I did not come away from the movie feeling that it was a failure , I felt disappointed at the movie's lack of oomph.

    To me , it failed to conjure an atmosphere of eeriness and foreboding , and I thought its scenes and momentum lacked in the thrill and horror departments quite a bit .

    The acting and script seemed adequate , and I especially enjoyed the artistry/cinematography of the scenes set in Kampong setting/reflecting lifestyle then.

    I look forward to a future rendition that will also include that -all too classic , too good to be missed - comic relief scene - the Malay Satay man and his two (Chinese and Indian) friends /customers , all whom come face to face with and flee in terror from the Pontianak!

    Good try please keep it up
