Rocky Soraya

Rocky Soraya’s filmography is kind of a wild ride, honestly. If you’ve dipped your toes into Southeast Asian horror, you’ve probably stumbled across his name—he’s the brains behind some seriously creepy stuff like Mata Batin, The Doll, and Sabrina. The guy just knows how to get under your skin. There’s this signature vibe in his movies: shadows in the corner, that feeling you’re being watched, and a solid dose of family drama tangled up with the supernatural. Mata Batin (or The 3rd Eye, if you’re browsing Netflix) is basically about a woman who starts seeing spirits after her sister opens her “third eye.” Not exactly a fun time. The Doll, on the other hand, runs with the classic “cursed object” trope—think Annabelle, but with an Indonesian twist. Haunted dolls, freaky jump scares, and a backstory that’ll make you think twice about picking up antiques. And then there’s Sabrina, which ties into The Doll universe and cranks the creep factor up even more with a possessed doll, seances gone wrong, and a family that just cannot catch a break. Soraya’s style isn’t subtle, but that’s kind of the charm—he goes all in on the scares, the melodrama, and the over-the-top ghostly chaos. If you’re into horror that’s both slick and relentless, his movies really hit the spot. Plus, there’s always a twist or two waiting to mess with your head.
