Roh: Malaysian folk Horror dealing with the tropes of demons, possession and reanimation through sui generis elements of necromancy. A family living in the jungle attract the attentions of an undead little girl. Some of the characters portrayed are more archetypes than individuals, a hunter, a shaman. The use of soil and birds in the rituals and the need to compete them is emphasised, the penalty for a mistake is death. Some interesting plot twists in a film shot entirely in a dark hut or the jungle. Directed and Co-Written by Emir Ezwan. On Netflix. 7/10.
