Chermin

Chermin is a horror/suspense thriller about a woman who is haunted by a vengeful spirit trapped in an antique mirror.



The plot centers on Nasrin, whose face has been disfigured from a ‘mysterious’ car accident. When her mother discovers an antique mirror hidden amongst old family heirlooms, Nasrin finds herself strangely drawn to it.

Nasrin’s fascination with the mirror turns into obsession and she starts taking on the persona of the mirror spirit, Mastura. On her quest to regain her past beauty, Nasrin submits herself to the mirror spirit by satisfying the mirror’s need for blood and revenge.



Will she be able to sacrifice love for vanity? Is she able to look inside herself and see the beauty within?

Or is what is reflected in her heart a shadow of the mirror?

Chermin is a first feature film of writer/director Zarina Abdullah. The film is financed by the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage fund.
