简介：Tell you what I love about taking short cuts in South East Asian countries. Unlike here in North America, if you take the back route you don't have to worry about breaking down and getting raped by inbred hillbillies. You do, however, have to be concerned with haunted Volkswagen Beetles and a bevy of hairy ghosts. You decide which is better. In the meantime we'll introduce you to Karak the upcoming Malaysian horror film that is based on urban legends surrounding the Karak Highway, an expressway that connects Kuala Lumpur and the town of Karak. Karak comes to us by way of Kru Studios, one of the bigger production studios in the region and it will mark their first foray into horror film. Starring pop singer Shahir AF8 [yes, AF8], Sheera Aiyob, Along Eyezend, Kilafairy and Sidek Hussin. Four college students are heading back to Kuantan after a night out in KL, when they are caught-up in a massive jam along the Karak Highway.So as to make it back for their classes the next morning, they decide to exit the highway and continue their journey along the old trunk-road.... not knowing that this decision will change their lives forever... And thanks to the watchful eyes of Capt. Awesome we have a trailer to share with you after the break. I've also included links to a couple of those urban legends to give you an idea why shortcuts are a bad, bad idea... anywhere! Karak opens in Malaysian cinemas in late May.
