“Haunted Hotel is my first foray into the Chinese-language cinema. After some close encounters with its creepy tenants, she tries to escape with the help of a local man (Malaysian actor Teddy Chin).īest known for her rom-com roles in Thai remakes of K-drama Full House and J-drama Kiss Me, the 29-year-old Aom (real name Sushar Manaying) says she is fortunate to be part of Haunted Hotel, where she got to work with professionals from both Malaysia and China. They win a lot of money at a casino in Genting Highlands, and end up staying the night in a spooky hotel there.
