Kapanlagi.com - The horror film HUTANG NYAWA, adapted from a social media thread by Yosep Anggi Noen, will be released simultaneously in cinemas across Indonesia starting Thursday, December 12, 2024. This latest work from Visinema Pictures and Legacy Pictures not only presents a thrilling story but also addresses a rarely discussed social issue, namely factory sacrifice and the fate of workers.

Directed by Billy Christian, HUTANG NYAWA tells the story of Erwina (Taskya Namya), a young mother who must work in an old factory to save her family from the burden of debt. However, behind the hustle and bustle of the factory machines lies a dark secret, a mystical practice that makes workers sacrifices for the success of the factory.

"I want to present horror that is not only scary but also relevant to social reality. Factory sacrifice is a theme that is close to our community but is still rarely articulated clearly, a story that combines fear with a reflection of everyday life," said Billy Christian.

1. A Horror Story Rooted in Social Reality

Unlike conventional horror films, Hutang Nyawa delves into the dark side of labor exploitation, where hard work is often unappreciated, and in this story, it is even paid with lives. This film depicts how ambition and greed can sacrifice the weak for the sake of success.

"With a strong narrative, this film has an extraordinary appeal because it voices experiences that are often hidden. We want to invite the audience not only to feel fear but also to reflect on what happens behind the scenes of many workers' lives," said producer Angga Dwimas Sasongko.

2. Positive Reception from Midnight Screening in 13 Cities

Before its simultaneous release, Hutang Nyawa held special Midnight Screening events in 13 cities, including Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya. The audience responded extraordinarily to the intense horror atmosphere and the social relevance presented.

3. Mystical Experiences of the Cast on Set

This film's shooting location is known as one of the most haunted places in Indonesia. The cast, including Rachel Vennya and Taskya Namya, admitted to experiencing mystical occurrences during the filming process. "I remember there was a moment when the camera suddenly stopped working for no reason," said Taskya.

The suddenly malfunctioning shooting equipment seemed to indicate that there was indeed something strange about the location. "It really felt like we were no longer filming; this wasn't just shooting, but we felt like we were truly in the midst of terror," she continued.

Rachel, who was acting in a horror film for the first time, added, "This film made me better understand fears that come not only from another world but also from the real pressures of life. The character Tri that I portrayed truly opened my eyes to how workers can become victims without realizing it."

4. Don't Miss the Terror on the Big Screen!

DEBT OF LIFE is ready to haunt cinema screens across Indonesia. Don’t just hear the mystical stories, feel the horror atmosphere of the old factory full of secrets for yourself.
