Labinak: They Are Amongst Us

Alisha hears strange noises in her new Malaysian home. Initially dismissing them as moving fatigue, the nocturnal whispers grow more persistent. Her friend Lena, who believes in local legends, warns about labinak spirits — entities that mimic loved ones. When ghostly figures begin appearing in hallways and voices call her name, the line between reality and nightmare blurs. This 2025 Malaysian horror film explores fear of the unseen, using folklore to build an atmosphere of paranoia. The director employs Asian horror tropes where danger lurks in familiar silhouettes and the silence of one's own dwelling.
