Munafik (Malay: Hypocrite) is a 2016 Malaysian horror movie which was directed by Syamsul Yusof. This film tells about Adam, a Muslim medical practitioner who is unable to carry on his job and accept the reality of his wife's death. After he meets Maria, unsettling things start to happen. This movie was released on February 25, 2016.
Adam, a traditional religious medical practitioner, and his wife got into an accident which caused his wife's death. Adam struggles to cope with the loss of his wife which has shaken his strong faith in religion and also stopped helping cure others as he feels 'incompetent' in his job.
He eventually meets Maria, who suffered from depression. She later gets possessed by an evil spirit, in which Adam has no choice but have to help cure her. He however stumbles upon more revelations linking Maria to the accident that killed his wife.
Adam then tries to cure Maria in her house with the help of his friend. Maria's spirit was too strong that his friend had to stop reciting his prayers to cure Maria. Maria's spirit laughs and pushes him against the wall. Adam, shocked by what was going on, continues reciting his prayers and then exorcises the spirit out of Maria's body.
Adam still could not accept the fact that his wife was dead and furiously wants to know who is the killer. Later, Adam's imam, Ali was found dead. His friend gets the news first and contacts Adam, who ended up ultimately shocked. His son also calls him to tell that his grandfather has gone out of the house. He also mentioned that his mother took care of him after his father went out. Adam, furious that the topic of his wife had somehow been brought up again since her death, yells at his son on the phone and slams it. In his sleep, Adam later dreams of himself digging out his wife's grave to prove his son that his mother was dead.
Adam insisted to Azman that all the happenings in the village are connected to Maria's demonic disturbances, with Imam Ali's death and Pak Osman's disappearance being the latest of events. He went home confronted by Fazli who shows hatred towards Adam. Thereafter Adam got a call from Zati that Pak Osman has been found.
At Maria's place, Zati and Maria claims that they have uncovered who is behind all the disturbances. However, upon going into Pak Osman's room, Adam finds he is still missing and questions Zati and Maria, only to realise that they were apparitions and that he's been tricked into coming by the demonic entity.
At the hospital, Maria gets constantly chased by evil spirits. She tries to run away into the mortuary to find some comfort only for the spirit to continue following her. Adam finds the talisman which Imam Ali originally was holding before his death, doubting Zati and believing the talisman may be the cause of the recent incidences. He receives a call from Maria saying that she has been holding a dark secret with her and is willing to share. Maria also said that she cannot stand the torment she's going through any longer.
