Instead, the ensuing dual narrative chronicling both the judicial proceedings and the investigation around that murder seeks to establish the whydunnit, the former through a series of witnesses that the prosecution has lined up to take the stand against Diana and the latter through further probes that the two lead detectives commence into a string of similar murders in the past.įrankly, the fractured chronology doesn’t exactly add up, especially how the case against Diana would go ahead if the police had not even concluded if she was responsible for other murders with the same modus operandi.

The verdict of the said trial is known right from the start, as the opening prologue shows a smug Diana in a tight dress and red lipstick readying herself for her impending execution by hanging in jail. So rather than discuss it head-on, Said approaches it from the perspective of a legal and police procedural surrounding the trial of a female shaman Diana Dahlan (Uime Aida) accused of the gruesome murder of a prominent businessman. What’s a lot more interesting – and we suspect the reason why it was temporarily prohibited in the first place – is its debate between Islam and ‘black magic’, especially how it alludes to the authority of the former deferring to the powers of the latter.Īrguably, if this were the core of the film, it may not even have seen the light of day today. But despite its notoriety, those looking for the sort of graphic horror that Southeast Asian cinema has been known for will probably be disappointed – compared to the likes of the Mo brothers’ ‘Macabre’ or even the more recent ‘Satan’s Slaves’, writer-director Dain Iskandar Said’s feature filmmaking debut is a much visually tamer affair, comprising some brief scenes of dismemberments, contortions and cannibalism with little gore and offscreen violence. Had it not been banned by the Malaysian censors for a decade, the supernatural horror ‘Dukun’ probably wouldn’t have been released to as much fanfare. His desperation leads him to be entangled with an alleged murderer, Diana Dahlan, who links the disappearance of Nadia to darker secrets that could cause Karim to lose everything. Dukun centres around a conflicted lawyer, Karim, who is searching for his lost child, Nadia. Synopsis: It’s a tale about the lure of riches, power, eternal youth, beauty and the blood one must spill to achieve this. Cast: Elyana, Umie Aida, Ramli Hassan, Faizal Hussin, Sofi Jikan, Bront Palarae, Hasnul Rahmat, Adlin Aman Ramlie, Nam Ron, Chew Kin Wah
