Honestly, Zaffan should have attacked Farah Lilo & Stitch style.
It's a really good coming-of-age body horror from Malaysia that is more or less like Ginger Snaps with a little bit of Carrie, Raw, and Turning Red on the side. It's by a first-time director Amanda Nell Eu and I thought she did a great job capturing the mundane life of these school girls in Malaysia and showing their wants and obsessions. Zafreen Zairizal is fantastic in this and the movie wouldn't be as good without her performance. It's also shot really well and I thought the colors really pop when the body horror starts creeping in. I do think the 3rd act could have been better explored even after that big scene that happens. Overall, really enjoyed it, especially for a first-time director and a horror movie from Malaysia that has a little more to say.
3.5/5
