STORYLINE
Unlike most Indonesian horror movies that often explore mystical themes from urban legends or local culture, "Malam Para Jahanam" blends its horror story with Indonesia's dark history.
The movie follows Rendi, Martin and Siska who visit the remote village of Winongo in Java to attend the funeral of Rendi's grandfather. However, their journey becomes terrifying when they encounter evil spirits and frightening events.
For three days and nights, they experience endless disturbances, making them have to work together to uncover the mystery behind the events. After some investigation, it turns out that all these events are connected to the dark past of Winongo village in 1965.
Winongo Village witnessed the tragic events that occurred due to political unrest at that time. The conflict erupted between the communist People's Youth group and the santri group led by Kyai Malik. This bloody tragedy also has a strong connection to Rendi's family history.
