00:00Guys, I'm back with a new movie.

00:06Today, we're checking out a 2025 Southeast Asian horror release called The Cursed Island.

00:11Southeast Asian horror usually leans heavily on local folklore and religious themes,

00:15but this one ditches the traditional style and goes for pure South Seas terror.

00:19Filmed on location in tropical forests, the atmosphere feels incredibly real.

00:24In Malaysia, there's a small island that, from a distance, looks like a skull.

00:28Legend has it that over 200 years ago, it was inhabited by a group of indigenous people,

00:33but overnight, the entire village vanished.

00:36Some say a witch killed them, but no bodies were ever found.

00:40More than two centuries later, the island's story has faded from public memory.

00:44A group of young people, eager to prove their courage, decide to spend a night on the island.

00:49They think it will show off their bravery, not realizing they've stepped into a truly terrifying place.

00:54As soon as they arrive, Jessica is captivated by a beautiful bird.

00:57She chases it into the forest, and her friends, worried, follow her without noticing they're venturing deeper into the woods.

01:04When they finally stop, they find themselves in an abandoned village.

01:08The area is filled with creepy scarecrows, and a thick rope blocks the entrance.

01:12As if warning people to stay out, the village looks sinister and foreboding.

01:16But bold Daniel isn't afraid.

01:17He tears down the rope connecting the entrance.

01:19Seeing nothing happen, the others follow him inside, though Amanda feels an uneasy chill.

01:38Planning to spend the night, they find a dilapidated house, clean it up a little, and prepare to stay.

01:43At first, everything seems normal, and they quickly fall asleep.

01:46But around midnight, the door suddenly creaks open.
