Official Portrait of the Poster & Trailer Launch of the Film 'ARWAH', The Terror of the Youngest Sofi Ready to Keep You Awake!

The ARWAH trailer shows the story of four siblings who return to their hometown and experience an accident while planning to visit their childhood waterfall. After the tragic event, they begin to be haunted by mysterious terror from their youngest sister, Sofi, who seems to carry messages from another realm.

"The main strength of Arwah lies not only in its chilling ghost figure but also in the layers of mystery that slowly unfold behind the haunting terror. All of this is reflected in its poster, which is full of symbols, mystery, and question marks," said Jonathan HM as the executive producer.

The official poster is equally terrifying. A girl is seen in an upside-down position with white eyes, a horrifying smile, hugging a tattered doll full of wounds. The color red dominates the design, adding a deep horror impression.

Ivan Bandhito as the director explains that this film tries to step outside the common horror conventions in Indonesia, which are often wrapped in religious values and rural settings.

"The onslaught of the global film market in the homeland, especially horror films that are identical to village settings and religious themes as moral identity, makes it difficult to find something new. However, I believe that in any film genre, there are always sub-genres with different styles," Ivan explained.

Ivan also added that ARWAH offers tension with an intellectual approach. "As we know, even in the horror genre, there are many sub-genres such as horror comedy, horror romance, horror thriller, horror psychology, etc. Sofi's story invites the audience to enter into an eternal event where reasoning and logic need to be used to enjoy it."

Actress Sarah Beatrix admitted that she feels close to the character Sofi that she portrays. "Sofi is quite an introverted and quiet person, I feel many parts of her are similar to me," she said.

Meanwhile, Joshua Suherman, who plays the character Jojo, believes this film brings horror to a different level. "Arwah is not just about instant fear or jumpscares. This film has a very strong dramatic side and a mystery that keeps the audience curious."

This film also stars Annete Edoarda, Naura Hakim, Irsyadillah, as well as senior actors like Ferry Salim, Roweina Umboh, Julian Kunto, and Egi Fredly. A special appearance by Natasha Germania as a cameo also adds to the appeal.
