The heroine Maya was originally a highway toll collector, but she was suddenly hunted and killed for no reason. After escaping, she changed jobs.
So I wanted to go back to my home village with my friends to try my luck and see if I could make a windfall.
The village of my hometown is dilapidated and weird, and Maya and her friends can only live in a large abandoned house.
It turned out that the village was cursed, and the children born had no skin and could not live for long. The village chief's mother bewitched the villagers. Only by killing the original village chief's daughter and using her human skin as a shadow play can the curse be broken. Unfortunately, Maya is the daughter of the original village chief.
The friend who originally came to eat melons accidentally missed her mouth, making the villagers mistakenly think that she was the daughter of the former village chief, and was caught and peeled off the curse.
As a result, the villagers found out that there was no effect, and only knew that the wrong person had been arrested. Maya was terrified and wanted to escape but couldn't, so with the help of a kind female villager, she tried to break the curse by herself. Of course, instead of skinning herself, she buried the skin and bones according to the guidance of the ghost, breaking the curse.
In the end, it was discovered that the mother of the current village chief was the old witch who had cursed. Because her son had committed adultery with the former village chief's wife, the old witch cursed her granddaughter. The former village chief thought Maya was his own, in order to save Maya from the pain of being skinless. , killed three little girls and used their skin to heal Maya. After the old witch's evil deeds were exposed, the village chief's son committed suicide in the incomparable self-blame, and the old witch also committed suicide.
Typical Indonesian folktale style horror film.
It is also a horror film from the Southeast Asian series. Thai horror films focus on creating an atmosphere of redemption and have some religious elements, while Indonesian horror films have a taste of "Liao Zhai folk tales", combining small rural legends, but in the horror scene and atmosphere. In terms of construction, there is not too much effort, and there is almost no feeling of surprise when watching.
The strong Indonesian rural cultural characteristics in the film, such as pulling out a machete nearly one meter long at every turn, and villagers who are ignorant and easy to be deceived and who are ruthless, etc., are very typical Indonesian culture compared with other countries in Southeast Asia.
At present and for a long time in the future, the dominance of Thai horror films in Southeast Asia may not change significantly, but I also hope that countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia can also inherit some excellent horror films while producing some excellent horror films. Only when a hundred flowers bloom can we make progress together.
