    COMEDIC HORROR

    With plenty of memorable moments and characters, HANTU KAK


    LIMAH BALIK RUMAH is an incredible joyride while it lasted but
    suffers from a predictable ending.

    A good comedy movies will make you want to laugh out loud. A good horror movie
    will make you want to scream out your lungs. In both respect, HANTU KAK LIMAH
    BALIK RUMAH will not disappoints. The horror scene is intense and the comedic
    scene is, well, punchy. This movie is definitely a must watch Malay movie of the
    year 2010. This horror / comedy movie is directed by Mamat Khalid whom is known
    for his comedic prowess and if Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah is any indicator, he
    still hasn’t lost his touch.

    Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah is a sequel to Mamat’s own Zombi Kampung Pisang,
    set in the same misfortune village in Perak, 3 years after the event of the zombie
    outbreak in Kampung Pisang. This time around, it wasn’t zombie that terrorize the
    poor denizen of Kampung Pisang, but the spirit of a deceased local called Kak Limah
    (Delimawati).

    The main plot of Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah revolve around the same
    protagonist from Zombi Kampung Pisang, Husin (Awie) who just gotten back from
    Singapore three years after he broke a wedding engagement with Cik Nin (Ummi
    Nazeera). Husin resolve to take Cik Nin hand in marriage is however delayed with
    the problem surrounding his dead neighbor, Kak Limah whom spirit causing panic in
    Kampung Pisang.

    The movie follows Husin and some other Kampung Pisang resident including village
    chief Pak Abu (Zami Ismail), Husin’s close friend Abi Hurairah (Johan Raja Lawak)
    and Usop (Syed) in their unsuccessful attempts to exorcises the soul of Kak Limah.
    How the resident of Kampung Pisang interact with the ghost of Kak Limah and the
    various exorcism attempts is definitely the standouts of the movie.

    Other standout of the movie is definitely the character of Hantu Kak Limah Balik
    Rumah themselves. All characters show genuine emotion; acting and reacting like a
    human being normally would. There’s a slight exaggeration here and there, but you
    can not but like the lovable citizen of Kampung Pisang. Syed who played the wheel-
    chaired Usop and Delimawati who played Kak Limah, the ghost both played their
    character perfectly.
    But Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah is far from perfect. The sub-plot twist near the
    end of the story is predictable and at some point, making some character behave in
    a totally unrealistic behaviour; an unnecessary addition to a rather great main plot.
    While the sub-plot twist is still acceptable, the main offender of the sin of simply
    being unnecessary is the character called Ayu (Ava Vaanja). She doesn’t advances
    the plot, only appearing about 4 times throughout the movie, and finally destroys
    the ending. Is the ending suppose to be a cliffhanger or what? Well, that is for
    Mamat Khalid to answer.

    All in all, Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah is a very entertaining horror / comedy with a
    great production value. Kampung Pisang resident charm and idiosyncrasies is
    definitely the main course for this wonderful buffet of goodness; which makes it a
    perfect ingredient for another sequel. Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah will be
    premiering in cinemas this coming December 9, 2010. It’s a movie that can and
    should be enjoyed for everyone even with it’s glaring flaws towards the end.
