Like any typical film, the selection of a title that can captivate the attention of many people is one of the most important aspects for a filmmaker. Without a name that gives a unique and eye-catching impression, it will be difficult to attract potential viewers to the film itself.

Tommy Dewo, the director of PENJAGAL IBLIS: DOSA TURUNAN, revealed that the choice of title was based on the capability of the devil to disrupt the daily lives of humans, which is also driven by the manipulative nature of demons. "Unlike humans, demons are more like the 'voice of nature' that wants to destroy. These demons are actually the ones manipulating (the devil). They create a scheme so that the devil can rise again in human life."

Starting from this concern, Tommy wants to present a main character who can thwart the devil's plans to destroy human life. "It's back to what we are actually experiencing. There is a certain power that they (the demons) have for specific interests, but they are colluding here to resurrect the devil. Coincidentally, this main character is someone who will try to thwart that." The director added.

2. The Distinct Appeal Compared to Other Horror Films

The trend of horror films in Indonesia has been ongoing for several years. In fact, the horror genre is said to rank among the top three largest film markets in the country. Because it has never lost its appeal, this genre remains very vibrant and will continue to color the local cinema.

The numerous production houses releasing horror genre films have made competition extremely tight. It's not uncommon for people to think that Indonesian horror films have a similar structural build, causing many to be reluctant to give them another look.

Wicky V. Olindo, the producer behind the film THE DEVIL'S BUTCHER: INHERITED SIN, revealed that the show he created tries to break that generalization alongside Tommy Dewo. The horror film, which will be released at the end of April, will feature a 'badass' protagonist from the very beginning, not just after being frightened by demons.

"Of course, as a foundation for horror films, the scary element is still there. But because his (Tommy Dewo) works are known for always having action elements, like THE LAST WOLF and JUST QUEEN, he wants the female protagonist to be able to slice through demons. (So the protagonist) isn't just a character who gets scared (and then) can only defeat the demons later." Wicky stated while attending a press conference on Tuesday (18/03).

Among the cast of PENJAGAL IBLIS: DOSA TURUNAN, Satine Zaneta and Naomi Christy admitted that this film is their first horror feature film project. In making the film, the daughter of renowned actors Abimana Aryastya and Inong Ayu, who plays the character Ningrum, had to face new challenges in the acting world.

"(Acting as Ningrum) is not pressure, (but) more like a challenge for me. Because I really started from zero learning all the choreography as well to look tough and 'badass', like Mr. Tommy's vision." Satine expressed when asked about her impressions of the shooting process she had to go through.

Not only Satine, Naomi, who usually acts in the drama genre, also faced unfamiliar obstacles when taking on a role for PENJAGAL IBLIS: DOSA TURUNAN. Physically, she stated that she and her fellow actors needed to prepare physically for about two months for the choreography and other technical needs in the film.

"In terms of emotions, the challenge is indeed there. Because (in this film) the emotions are intense, I (have to) be able to bring the feelings of fear and eeriness." Naomi said.

Ningrum (Satine Zaneta), a 19-year-old girl, is confined in a mental hospital due to alleged delusions after killing a family who was performing an exorcism on her child with the help of a cleric. This news leads a journalist named Daru (Marthino Lio) to be assigned to visit and interview Ningrum.

During the interview, Ningrum claims that she is a devil's butcher who has entered the human world. According to her confession, the family she killed were demons manipulated by Pakunjara (Niken Anjani) to resurrect the leader of a devil-worshipping sect.

Daru, who has already become trapped in this situation, has no other choice. He must help Ningrum confront Pakunjara and the demons that will also be resurrected. The story of the battle between Ningrum and Pakunjara will be spiced up with puzzles that test logic and faith.
