Cast

Possessed was a joint venture between Malaysia's Hock Star Entertainment and China's Beijing 3 Bros Film & Media Company, and the second feature film by director Bjarne Wong. Speaking at a press conference prior to the start of filming, Wong expressed his desire to "make a movie that is aesthetically beautiful, using the cast and especially the backdrop to show audience the beauty and wonders of Malaysia."
Filmed on a budget of RM1.5 million, Possessed was shot over a period of 20 days, mostly in the director's home city of Kuching. Wong enlisted the help of his mentor, Hong Kong filmmaker Stanley Tong, in an advisory role, and praised the cast for their hard work and enthusiasm for the film. Harisu, whose lines were spoken in her native Korean and later dubbed, also sang the films theme song.
