The almost-straight-to-DVD horror flick is directed and produced, respectively, by the husband-wife team of Ryan and Theresa Schifrin.

“Myths do not leave footprints,” Vincent Chow told the media at the end of March 2006. A new expedition is in the works, and certainly there are no shortage of tracks being found in Malaysia. But who has been finding them, and where? And what do they say they look like, beyond the media hype? […]
