Kapanlagi.com - Imelda Therinne and Aurora Ribero are ready to bring tension in the latest psychological horror film titled SAMAR: ILMIRA NIRMALA. This film, produced by Elior Tesla Pictures, is scheduled to be released in theaters across Indonesia starting March 13, 2025, right in the month of Ramadan.

Directed by Renaldo Samsara, this film offers a storyline full of surprises and a deep approach to character psychology. Imelda Therinne plays the role of Ilmira Nirmala, a famous horror comic artist who experiences childhood trauma. Her life becomes increasingly difficult after being abandoned by her husband and facing a financial crisis.

She decides to move to her family's long-abandoned wooden house. There, she meets a mysterious teenager named Elsa (Aurora Ribero). However, her life turns into a nightmare when terrifying figures from her own horror stories begin to haunt her.

Billy Ching, as the Executive Producer, ensures that SAMAR: ILMIRA NIRMALA offers a horror experience that is different from previous films.

"As a new production house, we want to present something fresh. Not just horror based on urban legends, but more towards a new approach like those done by other countries. "We want to provide a different experience for Indonesian viewers," he said.

He also added that Elior Tesla Pictures will continue to develop new projects in the mystery, crime, and thriller genres. Director Samar, Renaldo Samsara, explained that this film does not solely rely on horror elements, but also builds an atmosphere that can evoke the audience's emotions.

"I hope the audience can not only accept the storyline, but also feel connected to the themes and issues discussed. Many people are trapped in jobs that do not fulfill their passions. This film is one form of expression of our dissatisfaction with that," he explained.

The same sentiment was felt by Imelda Therinne. According to her, the story of Samar has a very strong emotional depth and is able to make the audience feel connected.

"When I read the script, I was immediately touched by the story and the elements within it. This film depicts the journey of a person who is processing and struggling in life, something that is very relatable to many people," she said.

2. Chilling

In addition to a strong storyline, Samar is also enhanced by a soundtrack titled Samar, sung by Elwin Hendrijanto feat. Hara Josua. This music further strengthens the mysterious and chilling atmosphere in the film.
