That’s why now, I’ve been disliking the TV more and more.
I don’t get why there are just sooooo many horror movies these days. Not the usual flying ghosts kind of movies, but the hardcore bomoh and sihir types. It’s almost on consecutive nights! You see all the gore details of how the person goes to the bomoh, leaves things under the bed, and the victim obeys every word she says. (Oh, the person doing the bomoh is usually a girl, too.) The scariest part is usually when they attempt to exorcise the spirit in the bodies. You can see the person squirming and screaming and becoming someone else.
It’s ok to have some horror movies as entertainment. Some people love thrillers and stuff, but why so many recently?!! Do you notice it on the local channels?
Granted, they usually have happy endings, but they give the public such ideas now. Because they actually tell us visually HOW to perform such things. There’s even reality shows that they purposely leave a person in a dark room and wait for things to happen to him/her. And there’s a white dot on the screen and they all go “Haaa!! The ghost is here!!”

Aiyooo….
Heard of video-editing?
It’s good that the authorities only allow these shows to air at night, but sometimes, throughout the day, we get to see ads and previews of the horrid visuals of men chanting with smoke coming out in the middle, or people with eyes rolling backwards. And it scares people, especially kids!
People, if you have a problem with someone, go and solve it amicably with him/her. See him, not a bomoh because get real, a bomoh can’t solve your problems. If they could solve problems, they’d be rich millionaires themselves. Why would you want to live with hatred your whole life when you can choose to face your problems and be happy afterwards? Life’s too short to be evil.
Love, not war!
What’s your take on all these shows these days?
OMG. We have the same thoughts on this! and this is why i always change the channels during advertisement slots! it’s even worse if they air the ads at night! please, have mercy on the children and especially to those who are at risk of heart attack!
hahaha. so funny lah you.
there was one documentary on ghosts and spirits on National Geographic or was it Discovery Channel?? they focused it on south-east asia and I found it to be so interesting! loved it! granted, it was scary, it was really interesting to know about the ‘background’ of such tales.
I don’t know why, I’m only scared of ghosts when I’m in Malaysia. You can talk to me about all the scary stuff in the world, but as long as I’m in England, I don’t get scared! =S It’s just a Malaysian thing to be superstitious and be fearful of ghosts and spirits. It’s true!

agreed with you Vivi, people will learn to “bomoh” kan others now, Haish.
… prefer 3d cartoon movies more 😉
just drop by here to ask, what skincare u are using of your skin?really loves your skin..your tone & your flawless…:) i mean, your facial, toner & moisturizer so on…TQ in advance for sharing. 😉
me too agree with u. my niece sgt terpengaruh dengan horror movies ni. sampai siang2 hari pun boleh cakap takut nk g toilet, sbb ada hantu. she’s just 4 years old..what the..??*sigh*.. horror movies nowadays give very bad effects to kids lol…
totally agree with u vivy, there’s too many of them!
totally agree!!!almost all the channels show this kind of story.maybe their ratings rise to this type of movies and Malaysian actually like those movies!!!
I love thrillers! Harry Potter, Se7en, Silence of the Lambs etc. But i hate horror movies. I think byk cerita mcm ni skrg sebab trend kot.
So teruk! Paling teruk last yr raya every channel sumer citer hantu…for god’s sake….IT’S RAYA LA WEY!!!
haha then please avoid black swan!
yeah,right..i don’t really watch the tv since like a year ago because there were so many slot of this kind of drama….this really has to stop..
Hey Vivy, you know, when i just got married (to a malay, i’m chinese) his family claimed to have bad dreams every night untill they could not take it, they visited this place at Bangi and saw a man called harun din. Horror of all horrors they performed some rites there and claimed that I have bomohkan him. Terrible..
Life is too short to be terrified by those horror dramas/movies! so please watch more chick flicks… Afterall, you watch movies/tv to entertain yourself right…
the writers are lacking of creativity, lazy enuff to make research on whats happening in life, rather than dark magic, there are more important things to focus and morals to ponder.. lately horror , dark magic seems like a malay genre.. maybe they see the romantic comedy is not working in malaysian industry (but thats bcos they are so typical).. the writer shud go do some research and study how korean can produce good dramas , not 1 but 3-5 dramas for every season.. and all of them are good storylines.. really gooooood..
totally agree with you, nowadays there’s a lots of horror drama and i’m really scared so better get a long sleep rather than watch the drama on thursday night…but miss grace, i’m totally not agree with you, maybe some missunderstood happen in your case…ustaz harun din is really not a ‘bomoh’…everybody in malaysia knows him as a ‘warak’ person and from good background…he open the ‘darul syifa’ in bangi to help people…many malays from these old days have things that they called ‘saka’…it’s better to let these things gone from keep it…i’m sure some will not agree but what to say its typical malays and we have to believe that many creature that Allah s.w.t made to live in this universe not just human…take care…
My take? Haah I agree. I stay away from them. If the theme is not spooky ghost-related movies (dah la rosakkan lagu tradisional kanak-kanak!), it’s city rempit and racing life. We need more variation and REAL inspirational movies!
