It has been another pretty busy week for Asian horror trailers, and this one is a particularly mixed bag – supernatural folklore, haunted families, murderous spirits, cursed technology, and some forest nightmares.
Quỷ Ăn Tạng 4: Hổ Tinh
Country: Thailand
Release: October 9, 2026 in Vietnam
The Quỷ Ăn Tạng 4: Hổ Tinh teaser dropped on September 17, bringing the latest chapter of the Thai Tee Yod / Death Whisperer horror franchise back into the spotlight – the English title is Death Whisperer: Saming the Werebeast, and this one is actually a prequel rather than a straightforward continuation of the previous films.
Nadech Kugimiya returns as Yak, but the story goes back to an earlier point in his life when he encounters Sergeant Paphan, played by Ongart Cheamcharoenpornkul, where the pair head into a mysterious forest while searching for a missing intelligence unit, where they encounter the Saming – a supernatural creature capable of transforming and hunting humans.
The Vietnamese distributor has scheduled the film for October 9, with early screenings on October 7 and 8.
Mẹ Mìn
Country: Vietnam
Release: October 23, 2026
The teaser trailer for Mẹ Mìn was was released on September 17, giving us our first proper look at the Vietnamese supernatural film – the film stars Minh Hằng, Rima Thanh Vy and Khương Lê, with the story centred around the mysterious Mẹ Mìn and a strange place known as Công viên Mẹ Mìn., and seems to involve people being offered the chance to have their wishes fulfilled – Not 100% sure how ‘horror’ this is, but it seems to have elements.
The film is scheduled for Vietnamese cinemas on October 23.
Út Lan 2
Country: Vietnam
Release: September 25, 2026
Út Lan 2 is another Vietnamese supernatural horror film heading into cinemas very soon, with its official trailer arriving this week ahead of the September 25 release – directed by Trần Trọng Dần, the sequel continues the horror world established by the first Út Lan, with the promotional material leaning heavily into Vietnamese folklore and the old idea that different places have their own spirits and supernatural rules.
The film’s marketing is using the traditional phrase “đất có thổ công, sông có hà bá” – essentially the idea that the land and waterways each have their own spiritual guardians.
Putri Jangan Gentayangan Lagi
Country: Indonesia
Release: November 5, 2026
Indonesia has another supernatural horror film on the way with Putri Jangan Gentayangan Lagi, directed by veteran horror filmmaker Rizal Mantovani – the film is based on a horror story previously told through the Lentera Malam YouTube channel, with the original episode reportedly attracting more than 25 million views.
Lobang Buaya: 309 Days Before the Tragedy Begins
Country: Indonesia
Release: October 1, 2026
The final trailer for Lobang Buaya arrived this week and gives us a much better idea of the strange murder mystery sitting underneath the horror – directed by Hanung Bramantyo, the film is set around a series of killings involving corrupt village officials.
Aplikasi Iblis
Country: Indonesia
Release: October 15, 2026
Aplikasi Iblis is one of the more modern-looking horrors in this week’s batch, although the basic problem it creates is something horror movies have been warning us about for years – sometimes technology really should be left alone.
Directed by Dimas Anggara, the film marks his first horror directorial project, and follows Arya, played by Junior Roberts, after the death of his girlfriend Laras, played by Dosma Hazenbosch – Laras is killed while returning home from work at night, leaving Arya unable to accept that she is gone, where he eventually discovers an application that supposedly allows people to communicate with the dead.
Pemuja Syaitan
Country: Malaysia
Release: October 15, 2026
Malaysia brings something particularly interesting this week with Pemuja Syaitan, the feature directorial debut of actress and filmmaker Liyana Jasmay – the film was officially unveiled on September 15 with its poster, cast and teaser trailer, with Zul Ariffin, Elizabeth Tan, Nadhir Nasar and Aila Azizul leading the cast.
The story revolves around a group of people connected to a mysterious incident on a remote island, although the filmmakers are keeping plenty of the actual details under wraps for now, but Jasmay has described the film as taking some inspiration from Fear Street, but with a specifically Malaysian identity rather than simply copying the American approach.
It arrives in Malaysian cinemas on October 15.
Don’t Promise / កុំសន្យា
Country: Cambodia
Release: September 24, 2026
Cambodian horror gets a spot this week with Don’t Promise / កុំសន្យា, a new Khmer horror film from Mediaload Pictures – the film is scheduled to open across Cambodian cinemas on September 24, including Prime Cineplex and other major cinema chains.
Don’t Promise will be arriving alongside another Cambodian horror release, Disturbed, September is turning into a surprisingly busy month for Khmer horror.
Hasut
Country: Indonesia
Release: October 8, 2026
Hasut is the feature directing debut of Ilya Sigma and follows four friends – played by Karina Salim, Rachel Amanda, Marthino Lio and Kevin Ardilova – who head into a forest for what is supposed to be a healing trip, and then the voices start.
Rather than relying primarily on ghosts jumping into the frame every five minutes, Hasut appears to be building its horror around sound and paranoia., and it iis due in Indonesian cinemas on October 8.
