Kapanlagi.com - In the past few days, there has been a viral boycott against religious horror films. This action was triggered by the release of promotional material for the film KIBLAT which features prayer movements in an upside-down position.
Prilly Latuconsina, as an actress who is also a producer, has been aware of the commotion that is happening. However, she does not want to comment because she has not watched the film yet, and she is not a religious expert who has the right to judge.
"The phenomenon that is happening now, I don't have the capacity to comment on it because I don't understand, I haven't watched the film yet, so I don't know where the problem lies. I am not an expert to comment on religious horror or religion because I also don't understand how to unite religion and ghosts," said Prilly when met in the Cikini area, Central Jakarta, on Wednesday (27/3/2024).
1. Having Freedom to Create
Nevertheless, Prilly Latuconsina believes that producers have the freedom to make horror films in any way they want. Because essentially, films are made from fictional stories and the creativity of the people involved.
"As far as I know, producers have the freedom to make horror films, create horror stories, and it's all fictional, not happening in the real world. Everyone has the freedom to be creative," added Prilly.
2. No Problem Being Called Trendy
Prilly Latuconsina produced a horror film called TEMURUN, which has completed the shooting process. Being called trendy, Prilly doesn't mind.
"If it's considered riding the wave, it's okay because in my opinion, as a producer, you have to be able to read opportunities. Because as a producer and entrepreneur, we need to know what the audience likes. Because I feel that making a film is for the audience, not for myself," stated Prilly.
