Kapanlagi.com - Psychological horror drama genre films can be said to be quite rare in Indonesia. However, this time, there is a title worth trying, namely TUTUGE.

Directed by Virlanwana Lenggong, this psychological horror drama genre film will present Bali's charm, from nature to local wisdom through its well-known culture.

"This film specifically tells the story of one of the local wisdoms in Bali. This film becomes a medium to convey many moral messages, ranging from forgiveness, finding self-identity, and redeeming behavior that we package with the beauty of Balinese culture," said Virlan at the gala premiere of his film at Epicentrum Walk, South Jakarta, on Tuesday (11/4/2022).

1. Get a Series of Prestigious Awards

TUTUGE is now showing in theaters across the country starting today, Thursday (14/4). Tommy Indratama, the executive producer of Sin3rgi, is optimistic that this 2-hour and 20-minute film will find a place in the hearts of Indonesian moviegoers.

Moreover, the film has already received a series of awards from international film festivals. Among them are the Best Horror Film and Best Cinematography awards from the Asian Film Awards Academy or AFA Academy 2021.

Other awards were also obtained from the Hollywood International Golden Age (HIGA) as the Best International Feature Film and Best Horror Film from the 7th Andromeda Film Festival. In addition, the film was also selected as a finalist in the Golden Harvest Film Festival in Tokyo, Japan, in 2021.

"The wait for the production of this film was quite long for us. Because we started shooting before the pandemic. But we are very satisfied with the results. Hopefully, this film will bring a new color to the national film industry," said Tommy.

2. Starring Top Actors

In this film, Rania Putri Sari was chosen as the lead actress who played the character of Ameera Janus. Rania has previously starred in Surat Cinta Untuk Kartini, Anak Garuda, Bumi Itu Bulat, and Namamu Kata Pertamaku.

The film TUTUGE is supported by top Indonesian stars such as Imelda Therrine, Rizky Hanggono, and Ismi Melinda. In addition to national filmmakers, the film also invites actors from Bali, namely Langlang Buana, Komang Suendra, Nina Tutachi, and Made Devi Ranita Ningtara.
