'RACUN SANGGA: SANTET PEMISAH RUMAH TANGGA' Presents Shocking Witchcraft Terror, Official Trailer Sends Chills

Andi, played by Fahad Haydra, and Maya, played by Frederika Cull, experience terrifying threats from black magic that not only tests their relationship but also endangers their lives. The story in this film combines horror elements with the rarely explored body horror genre in Indonesian films.

Maya, who is pregnant, must witness the horrifying changes that Andi undergoes as his body begins to suffer severely, hallucinate, and even endanger himself due to the effects of the black magic. This film is an interesting collaboration between producer Sunil Soraya and renowned director Rizal Mantovani, who previously succeeded with iconic films like 5 CM and EIFFEL I'M IN LOVE 2. 

Sunil Soraya explained that this film attempts to present horror from the perspective of a true story about a couple affected by a separating witchcraft, known as the poison sangga from Kalimantan. The story of this film is adapted from a phenomenal thread on X/Twitter written by @gustigina, which tells the tale of a newly married couple who must experience the terror of magic for revenge.

With a realistic background, this film presents the dark side of love accompanied by atrocities, making it a different horror offering. In this film, the couple Andi and Maya got married on February 12, 2021, after a taaruf process.

However, after they moved to a new house, they began to experience strange occurrences. Andi suffered from nightmares, coughed up blood, and even couldn't walk, while Maya had to take care of her husband while she was pregnant.

Fahad Haydra, who plays Andi, talks about the challenges he faced in his role. “To achieve a realistic effect, special makeup effects were applied to my body. All scenes were done without a stuntman because I wanted to directly feel Andi's suffering,” he said.

Meanwhile, Director Rizal Mantovani stated, “The poison of witchcraft is a separating witchcraft, where its effects will not stop until the husband and wife truly separate. In this film, I want to depict the cruelty of revenge through destructive mystical terror.”

Sunil Soraya also revealed that his collaboration with Rizal Mantovani in this film is a new step in the Indonesian horror genre, presenting a fresh yet chilling horror experience. “We want to show the dark side of humanity through witchcraft that is not only frightening but also touches the audience's emotions,” he concluded.
