What a strange thing this horror movie called Susuk is. It was made two years ago, faced a bunch of problems during production, then was stuck in post-production limbo. A TV series inspired by the film was made and shown on TV, and is still currently showing. And it’s pretty successful too. The novelisation of the movie has been out in the bookstores and has sold well.
And now, finally, the movie looks set to be released later this year.
No, your eyes do not deceive you when you see “2006” on the teaser poster on the left.
Amir Muhammad (The Last Communist, Village People Radio Show), that independent filmmaker/funnyman, who directed Susuk with Naeim Ghalili, has since gone into publishing with his newly formed Matahari Books. (The first three books from his company has been successful too.) But he writes on his blog that Susuk has been passed by the Malaysian censors with two cuts:
The cuts are: a silhouette of a woman showering in the nude (she was actually wearing a swimsuit that didn’t even match the colour of her skin lah); and a close-up of a man’s head getting ripped off (OK, that one was kinda gross, and was totally Naeim’s idea).
I am glad all the bomoh (shamans) and bikini scenes were kept in. (Although neither of the bomohs is actually seen in a bikini).
The producers will most likely not appeal against the cuts (which amount to less than 10 seconds) and will instead try and secure a release date.
Dammit! I want to see that head get ripped off!
