The premise had plenty of potential to make this one mean horror flick, with its veins reminiscent of Singapore's cinematic heydays with the likes of horror films such as Pontianak. So it's a story about a platoon being recalled to serve their reservist by looking for 3 AWOL soldiers on the island of Pulau Hantu, before realizing that their enemy might be of the unseen variety. We then see Adrian Pang cameo as MAJ Damian Lee at the Detention Barracks, interrogating an unseen somebody to recount the events that are about to unfold, for investigations, and thus sets up a little bit of mystery just who this person might just be.

Soon both mother and child get buried alive, and sets up the background for the spirits that haunt the island. The film opens in quite standard terms with establishing the source of the supernatural, with a village bomoh (witch doctor) raping a woman he fancies, and the product of that event was a child. As mentioned, the 'white horse' element got quite a bit of attention and comparison here, as do other little gripes about wearing green.

Rounding up their group are a number of CPLs Alvin (Shane Mardjuki), Rajah (Vijay Madhavan), Hadi (Sani Hussein) who seemed the only one aware of the deep trouble they're going into, and the Hokkien soldier PTE (yeah) Frankie Low, played by John Cheng, providing plenty of comic relief in the first 20 minutes of the show.
