ComicsOnline returns to New York Comic Con for 2025 and this year we have even more great interviews to share with you!

We start with the creator and cast of MALA, an exciting new dark supernatural suspense thriller based on tantric magic. This is the first Indian horror film to come to NYCC and a rare treat for US audiences, as it’s a rare English language Indian horror film.
Official Description:
In MALA, Reema unexpectedly inherits an abandoned resort on a remote tropical island and, accompanied by a trio of her friends, sets out to uncover the truth behind her inheritance. Upon arrival, the group encounters enigmatic locals, peculiar rituals and sinister omens, leading Reema to suspect her aunt's untimely death was anything but accidental. As Reema delves into the island’s secrets, she discovers that her family’s past is intertwined with an ancient curse involving tantric rituals and forbidden practices. Haunted by visions and cryptic messages from her late mother, Reema must navigate a labyrinth of spiritual awakening, familial betrayal and moral dilemmas to emerge and morph into her true self. As tensions rise and the rituals grow perilous, Reema and her friends must confront their deepest fears to survive the island’s sinister grip.
