Sisworo Gautama Putra
In 1980, Indonesian exploitation studio Rapi Films and writer/director Sisworo Gautama Putra (PRIMITIVES, THE WARRIOR) unleashed the singular chiller that rocked the Religious nation, transformed the country’s genre film industry, and remains one of the most influential shockers in Asian horror history: While mourning the death of his mother, a troubled teen discovers a nightmare world of restless spirits, supernatural vengeance and occult terror with “an intense creepiness that stands the test of time” (The Jakarta Post). Ruth Pelupessy (THE SNAKE QUEEN) and W.D. Mochtar (MYSTICS IN BALI) star in this “classic from the Golden Age of Indonesian horror” (Monster!) – whose 2017 Joko Anwar remake became an international festival favorite and one of Indonesia’s biggest hits ever – now scanned from the original negative and packed with all-new Special Features.

Munarto (WD Mochtar) is a successful Real Estate entrepreneur with two children, Rita (Siska Karabetty) and Tommy (Fachrul Rozy). Their family has just been hit by a disaster, namely the death of Mrs. Mawarti Munarto (Diana Suarkom). This has made the family lose their grip and become unstable. Especially since this house is not based on religious values. Since the death of his mother, they have lived in their own way. Munarto, who has a materialistic theory, is busy with his projects, without paying attention to his children's education. Mita is busy with her free association, while Tommy (on the advice of a fortune teller) is immersed in studying occult sciences.
Seeing the messy state of the house, Munarto, through a housemaid bureau, has brought in a maid, they call her Aunt Darmina (Ruth Pellupessy). Since the death of their mother, Rita and Tommy have always been disturbed by scary shadows in this house. Strangely, the shadow resembles their mother's face. Herman (Simon Cader), Rita's boyfriend, tries to find a powerful shaman to exorcise the ghost, but unfortunately for him he has an accident and dies on the way. Likewise, Karto (IM. Damsyik), their gardener who suffers from asthma, has hanged himself without knowing the cause.
Meanwhile, Tommy, who is busy studying occult sciences, is tempted by his own shadows. Not only shadows that disturb them, at certain times Aunt Darmina always appears as if witnessing all the events that befell Munarto's two sons and daughters, so that there is a kind of suspicion in them towards her maid. Could it all be masterminded by Aunt Darmina? Tommy and Rita are not sure.
One night Tommy secretly follows Aunt Darmina wherever she goes. At his mother's grave, Tommy witnesses with his own eyes how the maid is trying to resurrect his mother's body. There are also the bodies of Karto and Herman. All of this is told to his father but Munarto does not believe it, thinking that Tommy is just making it up. Feeling that her disguise has begun to be discovered, especially by Tommy, Aunt Darmina who also turns out to be the Fortune Teller who has evil intentions towards the Munarto family, her intention to finish off the family one by one is now carried out totally. She mobilizes her devil slaves, namely the living corpses of Karto, Herman and Mawarti to attack them. In a critical situation, unexpected help comes from a cleric (Doddy Sukma) who has actually been following the developments of the Munarto family from the beginning and reminding him, but never gets a response from the person concerned.
