Newly
weds Adjie and Astrid - along with their three best friends and little
sister Ladya - decide to take a short road trip before flying off to
their new life in Australia. That evening, the trip is abruptly interrupted
when they decide to give a ride to an abandoned young woman. They take
her to an isolated house in the thick of the woods where the girl insists
that they meet her mother, Dara. Mom insists that their kindness must
be rewarded with food and rest. At this point, the group is drugged
and the night turns into a crimson-hell of cannibalistic mayhem.
Easily
one of the most accomplished films to emerge from Indonesia (a country
not known for this level of craft). This is the debut project for the
Mo Brothers. They spent three years making it, first shooting as an
experimental short with the same cast and crew (calling it Darah,
based on the mother character) and then - after getting positive
reinforcement from Film Festival audiences - they flushed out the narrative
into a feature film. Excessively gory with an abundance of carnage,
the Mo Brothers have said this is their homage to Tobe Hooper's TEXAS
CHAINSAW MASSACRE.
After
the shoot, director Timo Tjahjanto married star Sigi Wimala (the actress
who played the pregnant Astrid).
