Another Indonesian horror film that tells the story of the ghost of Kuntilanak will be produced by Drias Production and Sinema Imaji in collaboration with the KipasKipas platform. The film entitled Anak Kunti will be directed by Bambang Drias and will be his ninth film.

Previously, Drias worked on the horror film Devil’s House. This time, the film Anak Kunti will tell the story of a child who is looking for his origins because his parents abandoned him at birth. However, many mystical things are encountered when looking for who his parents really are.

The story begins when a mother gives birth to twins, in the midst of very critical conditions of riots between residents. However, fate said otherwise. When their second child was about to be born, the mother and twin baby girls died together, as did the father when they tried to save themselves. An unknown person killed the mother and her husband, and fortunately the first child was saved by the midwife.

20 years passed, a child named Sara, who was born, grew up after being entrusted to an Islamic boarding school and was always haunted by curiosity about who her parents really were. The kyai also told him about the village where Sara was born. So Sara looked for her origins in the village, until finally there was some terror in the village.

The film Anak Kunti will start shooting in March, taking place in Yogyakarta. The actors in this film include Giselma Firmansyah, Nita Gunawan, Iwa K, Ruth Marini, Selvi Kitty, and Jajang C Noer. According to Drias, the cast can represent the characters in the story in the film.

“They really suit and fit the characters in the story in this film. and everything has gone through a screen test. For the story of the film Anak Kunti, I was inspired by stories from the region from Pontianak. “But what we are depicting is not the figure of Kuntilanak, but Kuntilanak’s child,” said the director of Anak Kunti, Bambang Drias at a thanksgiving event for the film Anak Kunti at Kopitagram Centang Biru, Ampera, South Jakarta, Wednesday, (6/3/2024).
