Showing in IMAX, "DARK POWER: BLOOD PACT" Ready to Present Greater Terror

Kapanlagi.com - The horror film "DARK POWER: BLOOD PACT" is confirmed to be showing in Indonesian theaters starting October 8, 2026. This sequel to the Dark Power film, directed by Rizal Mantovani, will not only be shown in regular format but will also be available in an Optimised for IMAX format, making it one of the main attractions of the film.

Producer Robert Ronny explained that this opportunity arose after IMAX sought local content to fill more of their screenings. According to him, IMAX has its own standards in selecting films to be screened. "DARK POWER: BLOOD PACT" is one of the Indonesian films chosen to be presented in that format.

Director Rizal Mantovani welcomed the news with pride. He believes that the selection of this film indicates that the story developed has also met the standards that IMAX pays attention to.

"This also means that in terms of the story and our approach to ensuring the story flows well, we have unconsciously met IMAX standards. Because they do not only look at technical aspects but also the story itself," said Rizal Mantovani.

Robert Ronny emphasized that "DARK POWER: BLOOD AGREEMENT" is not a film that was specifically made for IMAX from the beginning. This film falls into the category of Optimised for IMAX or Enhanced for IMAX, which is different from films that are actually produced specifically using the IMAX format.

According to Robert, IMAX's decision to seek more local content is also related to the decrease in the number of Hollywood film productions. This situation has led IMAX to start looking for films from various countries that are considered suitable for IMAX content. Indonesia itself has previously had several films that were screened in that format.

Robert expressed his happiness when Dark Power: Blood Agreement was finally chosen to be screened in IMAX format. He stated that IMAX has international standards in determining which films will be shown, making this decision a particular pride for the film team.

Robert also admitted to being a fan of the IMAX format and tries to choose to watch films in that format whenever possible. He believes that Indonesian audiences are increasingly understanding the difference in the experience of watching films in IMAX format compared to regular formats. Therefore, he hopes that viewers will try to watch Dark Power: Blood Agreement in the IMAX version.

In addition to the IMAX format, "DARK POWER: BLOOD PACT" also expands the story from its first film. This sequel will delve deeper into the past of Father Rendra, once again played by Lukman Sardi, including his connection to the demon threat named Rephaim.

Father Thomas, played by Jerome Kurnia, also faces evil forces again. This time, the conflict he faces is not only related to courage but also touches on issues of faith and doubt. This film also stars Venly Arauna, Ferry Salim, Feby Febiola, Lydia Kandou, Sisca Saras, Keysha Angelica, Kiki Narendra, and Faiz Vishal.

"DARK POWER: BLOOD PACT" is scheduled to be released in Indonesian cinemas on October 8, 2026, including in IMAX format.
