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 title selection 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 'voice of nature' that want to destroy. It is these demons that actually manipulate (the devil). They create a scheme so that this 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 goes back to what we are actually experiencing. There is some power that they (the demons) have for certain interests, but they are conspiring here to resurrect the devil. Coincidentally, this main character is someone who will try to thwart that." The director added.

2. The Unique Appeal That Sets It Apart from Other Horror Films

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

The abundance of film production houses releasing horror genre shows makes the competition very tight. It’s not uncommon for people to think that Indonesian horror films have a similar structure, which makes most of them reluctant to pay attention to it again.

Wicky V. Olindo, the producer behind the film PENJAGAL IBLIS: DOSA TURUNAN, revealed that the show he created aims to break that generalization along with Tommy Dewo. The horror film, which will be released at the end of April, will feature a 'badass' protagonist character from the very beginning, not just after being scared by the demons.

"Certainly, as the foundation of a horror film, the scary elements (are still) there. But because his (Tommy Dewo) works are known to always have action elements, like SERIGALA TERAKHIR and RATU ADIL, he wants the female protagonist to be able to slash the demons. (So the protagonist) isn’t just a character who gets scared (and then) later can defeat the demons." 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 big-screen horror project. In making the film, the daughter of famous 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 learned everything from zero, including how to make the choreography look tough and 'badass', like the vision of Mr. Tommy." Satine expressed when asked about her impressions of the shooting process she had to go through.

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

"If emotionally, the challenge is indeed there, yes. Because (in this film) the emotions are intense, I (have to) be able to convey fear and eeriness." Naomi stated.

Ningrum (Satine Zaneta), a 19-year-old girl, must be confined in a mental hospital due to suspected delusions after killing a family that 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 butcher who has entered the human world. According to her confession, the family she killed were devils manipulated by Pakunjara (Niken Anjani) to resurrect the leader of a devil-worshiping sect.

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