But that's not all! Magma Entertainment also revealed "Mayat Hidup," a campy and colorful comedic horror inspired by the iconic vampire flicks of Hong Kong cinema from the 80s and 90s. Producers promise a vibrant and dynamic tone that will resonate with nostalgic cultural aesthetics cherished across Asia. Production is scheduled to commence in 2026, so mark your calendars!
