Malaysia has gone with horror for its official Oscar selection this
year.
Written and directed by Emir Ezwan, the folk-horror tinged ROH sees
trouble arrive when a family living in the seclusion of a forest take in a
mysterious young girl who prophesises their deaths.
The film stars Farah Ahmad, Mhia Farhana, Harith Haziq, Nam Ron, Junainah M. Lojong
and Putri Syahadah Nurqaseh.
ROH is on US VOD from October 29th. A UK/ROI release has
yet to be announced.

The official synopsis reads:
Cut off from civilization, a single mother puts her children on high alert when they bring home a strange young girl caked in clay. She tells of spirits and spirit hunters and after spending the night she delivers an ominous prophecy: the family will all soon die. As strangers begin to show up on her doorstep, and terrible events crop up around them, she quickly finds another reason to fear the forest.
