Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah is a horror comedy genre of film which directed by Mamat Khalid. He is one of the Malaysian famous screenwriter and film director of Malay film industries. He is very passionate in making film even though his interest didn't resonate well with his father. This is Mamat Khalid second film production for this horror genre movie after the <Zombi Kampung Pisang> movie.
From the director point of view, he mentioned that this is movie is not just about comedy film genre, it contains a lot of hidden message and meaning in the movie. One of the purpose for Khalid to direct this story is because he wants to point out that even we are living in a modernize era yet we still believe the supernatural stuff that happen around us. Besides, he also wanted to show the underlying message within the story where we are living in a multicultural country when we live peacefully and tolerance with each others cultures. For an example, they have invited different kind witch, master or warlock with different belief and religious for exorcism activity in the movie.
Besides that, the director is pointed out a hidden message with the movie which related to political issue. "Kita kena ketengahkan pemimpin muda bagi menggantikan pemimpin tua" means that "we have to change the old leader to replace the young leaders", these messages reflect the issue that the old leaders nowadays are not inefficient enough and people is not satisfy to their government, they want to change the leader; they want a new lead for the country.
So this movie is hilarious and the content is not just a empty messages within. It contains a lot hidden messages and hint for the people to think. I think this is what Mamat Khalid as a director, as he wants audiences to learn or think something after watching his film, not just enjoying the entertainment.
