The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I just bought this mega-rare horror film on Malaysian VCD and I'm highly impressed.Back in the 1950's "Pontianak" series was very popular in Malaysia.Cathay Keris was the first studio to produce 'pontianak' films."Pontianak","Dendam Pontianak" and "Sumpah Pontianak" all starred Maria Menado as the hideous vamp-the first ghoul in the history of Malaysian cinema.Unfortunately she didn't appear in "Pontianak Gua Musang",which was the sequel to "Pontianak Kembali".This time the female vampire lives in the cave.She is a pontianak who comes out after dark.She terrorizes local people,seducing men and then killing them.This mildly creepy Malaysian vampire flick is beautifully shot and well-directed by B.Narayan Rao.It also offers an insight into Malaysian local culture,so I was pleased.So if you like Asian horror give this forgotten gem a look.7 out of 10.
