Mek Wok

2021

A scrappy village film shoot slides into sly supernatural mischief, mixing folk humour with creeping unease.

Directed by
Nuad Haji Othman
Overview
After hearing a scary story told by Tok Penghulu, a film producer becomes interested in turning the story into a film. A few weeks later, the production crew arrives at the village to begin filming. However, due to budget constraints, the director asks the production crew to find additional actors from among the villagers who are willing to act without payment. The production crew has also offended Tok Anjang, who then conspires with Jebat to sabotage the ongoing filming.
