Santau Malaysian Movie Review :
After 33 previous films, looks like the local prolific powerhouse that is Metrowealth Movies Production (or more often credited as Metrowealth International Group, MIG) has finally got it right. With the release of "Santau", Malaysian cinema can finally boast of a projected box office shockbuster that is solid as it is sound, and one that can travel regionally as a credible and entertaining supernatural horror flick, immediately bettering those pocong and kuntilanak efforts that pour in all too easily to these shores from neighbouring Indonesia.

Newcomer Putri Mardiana may have a slightly limited range of emotions but eating live maggots and other physically challenging possession scenes make her an actress to look out for in upcoming projects. Her nervous housewife character Nina is the chief accursed and she is well supported by Esma Danial as the desperate husband Halim, while young Farisha Fatin gets an introduction as their confused child. At any point if the inconsistent performances by these actors threaten to show, all is well covered by a progressive story with complementing camerawork and some truly macabre makeup and special effects. Riezman Khuzaimi, Zul Handy Black and Bob Lokman also star in supporting roles. However, perhaps it is greenhorn director Azhari Zain and his immediate crew who are to be lauded for this wonderfully scripted effort.
