The Place of the Dead (1997 TV Movie)
Dragons of Mount Kinabalu
5 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Based on a true story, this film retraced the steps taken by British troops to Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia. The mountain is situated in Sabah, a state in Malaysia.

Legend has it that the mountain is sacred, and those who ventured there without 'permission' will not return. And those who go there to do misdeeds, or speak profanity, will suffer from diseases or famine.

How true was it, I have no idea, really.

The story goes that a group of British soldiers returned to Mount Kinabalu to better understand the terrain and to obtain knowledge of the mountain and of the indigenous people living there.

The film portrays a scenic view of the majestic mountain, with the green trees, the sound of birds and waterfalls, and of the blue sky.

The acting is also believable, and quite good.

A solid 8 our of 10 for the film.
