Actress Liyana Jasmay, who directed her debut feature film, Pemuja Syaitan, recently shared chilling accounts of mystical encounters during its production. The 38-year-old actress revealed that a dark entity, possibly a hantu raya, followed her back to her hotel room on set. Frightened by the aggressive presence, Liyana performed daily prayers and recited Quranic verses for an entire day to ward off the entity.
The choice to shoot at an abandoned location added to the eerie atmosphere, leading to unsettling incidents on set. One cast member reportedly became possessed during filming, with an actual moment of hysteria captured on camera. Liyana emphasized that the team consulted an ustaz, who advised them to ignore the occurrences while reciting Surah Al-Baqarah.
Filmed in Cherating, Pahang, Pemuja Syaitan stars Zul Ariffin, Elizabeth Tan, Nadhir Nasar, and Aila Azizul, and is set to premiere in cinemas nationwide on October 15.
