Local sweetheart Lisa Surihani, who once said she was not a fan of horror movies, took up the challenge to act in one after listening to her husband Yusry Abdul Halim's advice. Yusry gave the 28-year-old actress a lot of encouragement to break out from her comfort zone. "He said if I wish to be a competent actor, I must be brave to try and act in different roles even if in a movie genre I dislike," she said. The actress will be starring in horror flick Dendam Orang Mati, directed by Jason Chong.
