Malaysia has a lot of legends concerning ghosts, demons and possessed buildings. The buildings that are possessed, or haunted, are in general schools. Histeria presents us a “ghost story” which takes place in a school. What started as a joke about ghost becomes deadly serious when students start to die all of a sudden.

James Lee is known for his art-house films. Histeria is, according to the director himself, not your typical movie for him. With Histeria James Lee has put Malaysia on the map when it comes to “ghost movies”. Seeing as Malaysia has its own vision on ghosts, which doesn’t compare to other Asian visions, Histeria gives us an unique “ghost story”.
