1. Demanding Additional Physical Action

The experience of rukiah was something new for Erika, who had never felt it before. Not only does it involve spiritual elements, but the scene also demands additional physical action.

"This is really my first experience with rukiah. So, I was really nervous, there was a scene (using) a sling during the rukiah, so, it was extra, like fresh," she said.

"This movie is really good, it's a very interesting film even before it was filmed, it had already been told on the podcast and got a lot of views. As a listener and reader, especially now as a cast member, I'm really happy to be part of this film," she concluded.

In this film, Erika plays the role of Echa, the wife of Ariel played by Emir Mahira. Echa and Ariel's household life is initially happy, but it turns into a terror-filled existence after Echa becomes the target of love from a spirit who wants to make her a demon bride.
