Lift the Story of Rukiah, Indonesian Horror Film 'IBLIS DALAM DARAH' Hopes for Positive Response from Malaysian Audience

Kapanlagi.com - The film IBLIS DALAM DARAH, which marks the debut of Ryaas Randa, has been screening in cinemas throughout Indonesia since March 16, 2023. During its circulation, the horror film by Yannie Sukarya has managed to collect more than two hundred thousand viewers.

After Indonesia, the production house Helroad Films distributed IBLIS DALAM DARAH to Singapore and Cambodia last April. When it was about to screen in Cambodia, Yannie revealed an interesting experience related to the censorship process.

"The censorship was quite challenging in Cambodia because they don't allow any victory for the devil. Not to mention the dubbing process. But I'm happy because the audience response was good," said Yannie as quoted from a text message on Wednesday (17/5/2023).

After Singapore and Cambodia, IBLIS DALAM DARAH is screening in Malaysian cinemas starting from Thursday, May 18, 2023. Helfi Kardit as the producer hopes that his work can be well received.

"I hope it will be well received in Malaysia because it's not just a horror film that we present, but also religion and mental health. Moreover, the practice of rukiah is also popular in Malaysia," said Helfi Kardit.

In addition to Ryaas Randa, IBLIS DALAM DARAH also stars Michelle Joan, Cut Syifa Alaar, and Soraya Rasyid. The film tells the story of Haruni, a young woman whose body is inhabited by an evil spirit. Doctor Ahmad, who has expertise in rukiah, tries to save her before it's too late.
