Umie Aida, Faizal Hussein recall spooky Pudu Prison set on 'Dukun'

'Dukun' is loosely based on real-life witch doctor Mona Fandey. Umie Aida says she lived with a snake for two months to study its movement and incorporate them into shaman Diana Dahlan.

Actor Faizal Hussein recalls a mysterious occurrence that took place on the set of horror-thriller Dukun. Faizal had arrived early at the now-demolished Pudu Prison in Kuala Lumpur for his scene one morning. To pass the time, he started chatting with some of the cameramen.

“They told me that just before I arrived, the camera’s viewfinder was moving on its own,” Faizal recalls at a press event promoting Dukun.
