10 Scariest Malaysian Horror Films

1. Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam (2004)

The first Malaysian horror film is Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam. Pontianak in question is not one of the regions in Indonesia. For Malay people, Pontianak is a ghost of a woman who is similar to Kuntilanak in our country.

Maya Karin is very successful in playing two different characters in this film. His acting ability deserves thumbs up and is one of the main draws of the audience. This horror film has two series, the first released in 2004 and the sequel in 2005.

2. Santau (2009)

Talking about mystical things, witchcraft is one of the things that we have often heard. This is also raised by Malaysian filmmakers in the film Santau, the Malay language of witchcraft.

The story in this film is very close to the community. A family has a breakdown that cannot be described. The wife starts to freak out and gradually their family is in danger.

3. Karak (2011)

Similar to the Casablanca Tunnel, Karak is one of the famous haunted streets in Malaysia. In this film, 4 young men go through that place. However, a terrifying creature appeared and followed them.

For those of you who like jumpscare, this Malaysian horror film is perfect for watching. The ghost will not hide, it will immediately appear in front of you.

4. Here Are the Ghosts (2011)

Sini Ada Hantu is the next Malaysian horror film. This film is arguably like an anthology because it contains several different ghost stories. One night, a delivery company dispatched a driver to bring a corpse basket.

In order to get rid of the drowsiness on the way, they began to talk about their spiritual experiences.

5. Kum Kum Swear (2012)

The next horror film is based on the Malaysian urban legend, the ghost of Kum Kum. This ghost comes to every house looking for a young girl to be victimized.

According to people there, this ghost is a woman who craves beauty but must be sacrificed. No wonder it looks very creepy.

6. Villa Nabila (2015)

Haunted places are often used as horror films, especially if they have happened in the real world. Villa Nabila tells the story of a haunted villa in the Johor Bahru area. There have been several incidents related to the disappearance of a teenager as well as some gruesome incidents of workers in the area.

7. Khurafat Agreement of Satan (2015)

Almost the same as Santau, Khurafat tells of a newly married couple. Before long, they began to feel disturbance from strange creatures. Apart from that, her husband’s ex-boyfriend also reappeared in their lives.

Is this disturbance of spirits the work of the ex? Or is there another character who made a pact with Satan? For those of you who are curious, you can immediately watch the film.

8. Hypocritical (2016)

Being a phenomenal work of Syamsul Yusof, Munafik is very thick with Islamic nuances. For those of you who are Muslims, this film will be very sustainable with what you already know.

One of the most iconic scenes is when a woman is possessed and speaks Arabic and recites the Dajjal. The way of expelling the jinn is also done in the Islamic way, namely Ruqyah.

For those who are looking for a Malaysian horror film, Munafik is our best recommendation.

9. Shaman (2018)

The next Malaysian horror film is Dukun. This film is inspired by a terrible murder case in a neighboring country.

The story goes, a lawyer tried earnestly to find his missing son. Over time, the character begins to unravel the mystery and secret conspiracy behind the disappearance of the child.

10. Ghost Kak Limah (2018)

Finally, there is the film Hantu Kak Limah. You don’t need to be afraid, because this film also has an intriguing comedy genre. Kak Limah himself is a haunting spirit of one of the characters. This film is the third title in this franchise. It’s crazy anyway!
