Although the budget was limited in making this movie (and I knew that fact before immersing myself), 'Roh' supplies viewers with a perpetual sense of calm and dreadfulness throughout the film. I honestly applaud the producers for achieving a fearful atmosphere with a low budget and relatively cheap special effects. The movie is indeed rather ominous and slow-paced (too slow imo), and few words are spoken from each character. It is thus imperative not to miss out on key conversations and dialogue between them.
In the exposition, we can see that the film is going to dance around Malaysian folktales, legends, and religion (Islam). A very spiritual and supernatural kind of horror. The film's target audience is definitely any one person who is familiar with such stories or is religiously Islamic.
Overall, the plot is quite simple, but the flow and direction sometimes may leave you confused and desiring more. The climax has a little twist but unravels itself unsatisfactorily like many stereotypical horror films. I have seen A LOT of horror movies, and this one will not leave a lasting impression. You will be left with unanswered questions.
