Bikinis run red as a group of young people attend a beach event called Tequila Sunrise. This movie is wonderful, turn-the-brain-off mayhem from the excellent Rizal Mantovani, director of WATERFALL OF PENGATIN, its Sequel and the CHANTING trilogy. The film is a sensory delight. Rizal's pacing and camerawork is impeccable, albeit a great excuse to show a lot of cleavage. Ultimately, here is a popcorn movie with a bunch of half-naked people getting slaughtered by a most unusual creature called a Jenglot.

What's a Jenglot?

It's an ancient [mythical] Indonesia fleah-eating monster that never dies but sometimes slips into hibernation as it awaits resurrection from a servant with magic words and a blood sacrifice. This film opens with such a scene as a creepy warlock revives a Jenglot and releases it into the sea (seemingly to protect the sanctity of the once-desolate beach). However, this is the weekend for the big Tequila Sunrise event and it's packed with partying young people who happen to be as beautiful as they are tasty.
