Cookie factory zombies! If you are wondering if the zombies have a thing for biskut, they don't. The biskut factory was only ever used for the zombies to make their grand entrance for their first scene.

3. Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam

Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam directly translates into Pontianak scent of the tuber rose. The lead, Maryam, is very fond of the fragrant Sundal Malam flower, thus the namesake. A rose-scented vampire? How cool is that!

Don't look back, can?

A parody of one of the 'creepiest' Malaysian horror movies ever made, Jangan Pandang Belakang, this one has a similar plot, except that the ghost in Jangan Pandang Belakang Boleh is rather quirky (check out the GIF).

Guess what? The horror movies aren't the only ones with such creative titles. Creative juices must have been flowing when they decided on these two names!

The main aim of the lead characters, you guessed it, Amir and Lokman, is to sell drinks by the beach to beautiful foreigners.

What other Malaysian movie titles that you thought was one of a kind?

If the Malaysians are unbeatable with their epic movie titles, then the Indians just love coming up with the MOST ridiculous movies!

On the contrary, these Malaysian movies are so beautifully made to best reflect the rich, diverse Malaysian cultures and societies. Must watch!
