Pontianak

Let's face it, Natre of Thailand's SHUTTER and Sadako of Japan's RINGU - along with the other long-haired female fiends of Hong Kong and South Korea cinema - are merely copycats of the Malay pontianak. And right here, I can even 'sumpah' to you that the Indonesian version of this mythological vampire was one of the scariest I'd witnessed on screen.
