Director Isma Yusoof was a big fan on the cult horror movie Blok 404 which was released on VCD in 2001. So, he was thrilled when given the opportunity to helm the remake of the film which tells the story of a group of students squaring off against a serial killer.

“I remember watching Blok 404 as a student. For the remake, I didn’t want to be influenced by the original. I decide to go with a fresh approach. But of course, I need to retain and expand on the thrilling elements that made the movie so popular in the first place,” he said during an interview in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
