I Will Never Die... *shivers*

"Aku takkan mati..." is the translation in Malay(or something like that. If I want to confirm it, I'd have to watch the trailer of "Dukun" again, which is soo not going to happen. Once is enough. Huhu...)
I'm usually the type of person who doesn't get scared easily when watching a horror movie.
I actually kind of dozed off for a while while watching Ju-On and The Exorcist(and a lot of people actually says these two are among the best horror movies there is. Yeah right...)
But, after watching the trailer for the Malaysian movie "Dukun", I actually had to watch with my eyes covered and I winced through the whole trailer cause it freaks me out!
The trailer was actually scary!!(great job!=P)

I was looking forward to watching the movie, but I heard that it was banned because it was too scary...?? Or maybe because of the controversy surrounding it. Either way, that kind of sucks.
I mean, this is the first time, I think, that a true Malaysian horror film fits the criteria of being a horror movie. Like before, all of them were kind of crap(sorry to say...).
Like for example, I watched "Jangan Pandang Belakang"(mainly because of Pierre Andre haha...) and it was not scary!! I dozed off(yes.. again...) after like 25minutes. Bosan!!
So, I was a little bit pissed off that "Dukun" was banned. Hope the people pulling the strings would let it be showed.

Anyway, the film is loosely based on the very,very controversial case of the brutal murder of Datuk Mazlan Idris by Mona Fendey and her husband and another helper.
I think the movie scared the hell out of me(and I'm sure a whole load of other people) because we were there through the whole process of her trial.
The majority of us read the news when the state assemblyman went missing, when he was later found decapitated and dismembered, when Mona Fandey and her accomplices were captured, and when the three of them were finally hanged.
Everyone could remember(well, applicable to Malaysians, of course) her always smiling face when photographers took her pictures during the looong series of trials.
"Berani korang publish those pictures!!! They actually haunt my dreams (sometimes~~)!!"
Maybe now I understand why the Japanese say that "Ju-On" is scary and the Americans say "The Exorcist" is scary and we Malaysians find "Dukun"(well, at least the trailer) scary.
It's maybe because we can relate to it. I mean, it has a connection with our culture.
Witch doctors are quite common even in today's supposedly modern Malaysian society.
So, obviously a lot of people can relate to it.

"Dukun" is said to be more focused on the trial part of the whole controversy and does not have that much gory scenes, as said by the director, Dain Said.
But, from the looks of the trailer, it shows a lot of the scary parts(obviously for publicity purposes). So, I don't really believe that statement.
It stars among others Umie Aida and Faizal Hussein.

Maybe the movie would be release later(after a few cuts here and there or whatever)...
Maybe this ban is just a publicity stunt. You know to get the hype all going(skeptical again. Haha...)
Whatever it is, I hope it would be released cause I'll definitely watch it(erm... even with eyes half covered..)
In the meantime, I'd just have to settle with watching "Sundel Bulong", the Indonesian horror movie yang Ili, Cipi, Ila and Syal suggest. Better be scary korang!! Kalo tak.... hampa jer!
Anyway, watch the trailer down there(if like you don't mind getting spooked and don't have lemah semangat or anything like that=P)
P.S: Tell me if the trailer doesn't work cause I didn't check. Huhu...
