- The Making of Roh
Cut off from civilization, a single mother puts her children on high alert when they bring home a strange young girl caked in clay. She tells of spirits and spirit hunters and after spending the night she delivers an ominous prophecy: the family will all soon die.
As strangers begin to show up on her doorstep, and terrible events crop up around them, she quickly finds another reason to fear the forest.
Writer-director Emir Ezwan makes his feature debut on the film, which stars Farah Ahmad, Mhia Farhana, Harith Haziq, Namron, June Lojong, and Putri Qaseh.
Paul Lê wrote in the Top 10 Hidden Horror Gems You Might’ve Missed in 2021, “The confining forest prevents a quick and easy escape, and the dread is immovable. On top of all that is a merciless plot trajectory. Even though Roh never cares to explain itself, the movie is thoroughly unsettling.”
