Watch this if you liked: "Alamak Toyol".

"Hantu Tok Mudim" is a film by Showbiz Productions, and it is a comedy horror film that's pretty entertaining. Although Wan Hafiz's first try, the work produced is more than satisfactory and it should be commended.

Unlike other ghost movies that are considered cliche, this young director tries to promote the Tok Mudim as a character to the audience, rather than a decorated prop.

The storyline of the movie doesn't feel like it dragged and it is loaded with comedy elements that does not make audiences uncomfortable. With the strength shown in the acting, the reviewer was also impressed to see how well it was written.

The film has a strange theme, which was circumcision, and this film tells the story of Tok Mudim, the best guy in his hometown who could do the job, but his reputation was tarnished because of love triangle involving his assistant.

The film stars Izzue Islam in a great cast as the lead. Although this was his first role in comedy, Izzue managed to bring his character well and thus improve the quality of his acting.

Praise should also be given to Soffi Jikan, AR Badul and Harun Salim Bachik because of their relaxed and humorous presentation in the film.

Overall, the reviewer is satisfied with the work although there are also some flaws here and there, but the movie's storyline has swept over the audience and it is not impossible that "Hantu Tok Mudim" might be one of the most successful local films in 2013.
