Well, glory be. CL Hor’s Kinta 1881 is a film that I have literally been tracking for months now, just waiting for the day that the first trailer would arrive. Billed as Malaysia’s first martial arts film - a claim I see no reason to dispute - the film stars a handful of real life martial arts champions battling it out in massive underground tin mines. The pedigree of the fighters got a lot of people’s attention, then came the behind the scenes reels that showcased the stunning natural sets and brutal action - I’m fairly certain one of the performers is knocked out cold in one of them - and the first artwork released proved that director Hor is capable of shooting some truly impressive film. Put it all together and it should be something special. The trailer certainly seems to say so ... it’s beautifully shot and the action looks stellar.
