A feminist take on the 'yakshi' myth - for every woman labelled a ghost by society.

Why we picked it

Choose Yaksham for a brief Malayalam film featuring Hima Sankar and Arun C. Kumar, with a poetic dedication to women constrained by taboos.

Religious imagery, gender expectations and taboos; detailed depiction and scare intensity remain unassessed.
