The smashed
nurse is Lara, a young woman who lived during the Japanese occupation
of Indonesia in 1945. She had fallen in love with a Japanese soldier named
Sato Hirosuke. He wants to resign from the military, get married and settle
down with Lara. But his captain refuses the request for a discharge. Instead,
the officer uses Lara as an example of how the rebels should be treated
and she is brutally squashed in an elevator shaft. In her dying moments,
Lara levels a curse on the entire Hirosuke family. Now, today, Sato's
granddaughter and her friends are terrorized by the resurrected Lara.
This
meanspirited Indonesian thriller is essentially splatter collage that
borrows heavily from the horror archives with scenes that mirror many
other Indo films as well as International faves like RING and JUON. The
barbaric behavior of the Japanese authorities are merely a foundation
for a steady stream of K. Team's bloody cinematic frenzy. This is his
only film as a director; K Team is better known as producer K K Dheeraj,
the founder of K2K Studio.
Actress
Jenny Cortez [playing Nurse Lara here] is probably best known for her
role as Stacy in Rizal Mantovani's WATERFALL
OF PENGANTIN. This is the second film for Baby Margareth, following
her memorable performance in Sasha Grey's GYRATIONS
OF A GHOST early the same year.
