YMMV / The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines

• Awesome Music: The closing theme performed by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the most epic theme songs ever to come out from any non-Hollywood/Hong Kong movie, ever.
• Complete Monster: Kamawas was once a proud student of a martial arts school, but since turned to the side of evil after discovering the power of Black Magic and sorcery and how it can make him invincible. Turning all the pupils of the school to join him as killers, with those who oppose him hunted down and killed, Kamawas will establish his own legion of pirates called the "Garuda" (Eagles), where they spend decades terrorizing the straits of Malaysia and Indonesian islands, killing and raping by the hundreds. It was during one of those raids where Kamawas kills the hero Merong's family, turning Merong into a drifter, and in another raid Kamawas rapes Merong's Love Interest Embun before leaving her for the dead, simply for fun. As Merong and the heroes leads a brave final assault on Kamawas's island stronghold, Kamawas personally kills several resistance fighters and takes pleasure in killing Admiral Liu in a long, slow, extensively drawn-out way before ripping out Liu's throat.
• Designated Love Interest: Embun to Merong, she has literally minutes of screentime and somehow she's destined to bear his descendants. Because the plot says so?
