Film description

A new inmate – journalist Dimas – arrives at a grim maximum-security prison modelled on the Sukamiskin penitentiary. Along with him, a hostile entity enters the complex, methodically disposing of inmates in a manner as brutal as it is spectacular. What pattern dictates its choice of victims? And can the faith of the inmates hold it back before everyone inside is slaughtered? Joko Anwar reaffirms his status as a master of horror, this time taking a lighter approach, infusing the plot with gory humour while weaving in dazzling martial arts and dance sequences. Beneath the laughs and genre play lies a serious social commentary and a critique of a corrupt country, resembling one huge prison, ruled by people who cannot be trusted. Filmed virtually without second takes, the director's twelfth feature brings a breath of fresh air to a highly conventionalised genre, bursting with energy and delivering surprises at every turn of the prison corridor.

Joko Anwar

Born in 1976, director and screenwriter. Studied space engineering and worked as a film critic. He debuted with the popular comedy Joni’s Promise. Considered as one of the most original Indonesian filmmakers, praised for his subversive, surprising scripts, cleverly using the genre conventions to take up controversial topics and paint strong portrayals of modern reality. In 2016, he visited the 10th Five Flavours with his film A Copy of My Mind.
