Maybe because we have too many restrictions? No funding from gov? Many film industries like Korea started w strong gov support to revolutionise it

Why aren't many horror movies successful in Malaysia?

I feel there’s a stigma. Who in their right mind would want to watch horror movies weekly or monthly, except for movie reviewers who rates films on jump scares and gore?

Kek logic.

Indonesian horror film doing good no doubt about it but our film industry is not that bad.

Our action movies kinda good from Adrian Teh.

Polis Evo trilogy, Paskal, Malbatt, Takluk Lad Datu etc etc.

Our animation also way ahead.

Upin Upin.
Mechamato.
Ejen Ali.
Boboiboy Galaxy.

At least give some credit to our local producers and directors.

I really hate it when these film-makers abuse religion just to promote their dumb movies.
none of this is based on islamic teachings. this is just their stupid misrepresentation to get people interested.
bodo.

Upin Ipin has a massive following in Indonesia. Some of them even believed that Upin Ipin is an indonesian product! Not to mention those that pissed off because Upin Ipin is influencing younger Indo generations to speak with Malay dialect. Upin Ipin has spawned several films to the ASEAN market.

Then there's Boboiboy, and Ejen Ali, both have big followers and have been translated into many languages.

Mechamato is a new competitor, and won Anime fan Award in Japan, the 1st ever non-Japanese animation to win this.

Didi & Friends is also a big amongst toddlers and pre-schoolers, and their recent film was a hit in Msia, Indonesia and SG.

Back to the question at hand, I do agree most Malaysian films only caters for locals and have little value outside our community. But our animation industry is booming and we're dominating ASEAN.
