Website for Michael Chuah's SEED OF DARKNESS

The new official website for Michael Chuah's Chinese-language (Cantonese and Mandarin) Malaysian horror movie Seed of Darkness - the working title of which was "Nephesh Seed" - is now partly functional.

As was previously reported here and there on ScreenAnarchy, the screenplay for Seed of Darkness was written by Chuah. The movie apparently stars Sze-Zen Wong as Ying-Ying's mother, Alvin Wong as the neighbour, Vick Teo as Ying-Ying's uncle, Amber Chia as the psychiatrist, and nine-year-old Jiun-Jiun Leong as Ying-Ying.

Here's a synopsis for Seed of Darkness from the production: "Seed of Darkness weaves a spooky tale of the life of a single mother by choice who decides to undergo an 'in-vitro' fertilization (IVF) process to have a child of her own. Seven years later, she moves into a new apartment and her child - a girl - begins to behave oddly, much to the bafflement of the young mother. Her fears begin to mount when she finds her daughter frequently talking to herself in the presence of a shadowy figure, who has been appearing in their new home. When she questions her daughter about this behavior, she is shocked to discover that the girl has been communicating with the girl's non-existent father."

Columbia Pictures is scheduled to release Seed of Darkness theatrically in Malaysia on December 28th. (BTW, Columbia Pictures is also the distributor of Dain Said's Dukun.)
