Selected as one of the Top Five finalists of ATF x ETS N8 Horror pitch, DANGKAL is EMUSE PICTURES' first attempt at Supernatural Horror, Written and soon to be directed by JEREMIAH FOO, Dangkal will feature talents from Japan and Malaysia.

About the Project:

Dangkal is a slow-burn supernatural horror film set in a cursed mansion in Southeast Asia, blending the atmospheric dread of John Carpenter with the spiritual terror of James Wan. Grounded in local folklore and historical trauma, it explores how guilt, betrayal, and broken rules of the spirit world can awaken the past. With a distinct visual style, multilingual dialogue, and a single-location structure, it is designed for high cinematic impact on a modest budget.
