What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Four film students must produce a horror film to finish their studies while the shoot becomes haunted by mystical events.
The central characters are explicitly making a horror film, allowing ghost sightings and possessions to disrupt the filmmaking process itself.
The film is an Indonesian-language production from Makara Production, directed by Chiska Doppert and built around local comedic performers.
Mystical events, including ghost sightings and possessions, begin during the students' filming process rather than in an isolated supernatural world.
