Nik Amir Mustapha wins Best Director and Best Film for 'KIL', while 'Tanda Putera' receives a consolation prize for showcasing patriotic values.
There are very few similarities between Ellie Suriaty’s Penanggal and Nik Amir Mustapha’s KIL. One’s a horror film with plenty of gory special effects and the other is a dramatic low-budget fare. But both feature individuals trapped in situations they don’t want to be in. Penanggal has Ummi Nazeera as a kampung girl looking to escape a deadly curse, while KIL’s Redza Minhat is someone who is desperately trying to run away from an assassination attempt.
