Orang Ikanis an Asian interpretation of the creature theme set during the tragic real life occurrences of WW2.

Aside from the horror, the film accentuates the theme of brotherhood and humanity against devastating reality of survival.

This particular theme was inspired by John Boormans 1968 classicHell in the Pacific.
