JAKARTA - The Devil's Film In Blood will air in Malaysia on May 18, 2023 and in Laos on May 25, 2023. Producer of Helroad Production, Helfi Kardit hopes that the film Devil in Blood can be received by Malaysian audiences well.

"Because it's not just horror that we put forward. But there are religious and mental health as well," he said when contacted Wednesday, May 17.

Director Yannie Sukarya also admitted that she was enthusiastic. This film has also aired in Cambodia and received a pretty good response. "The censorship is quite challenging, because in Cambodia no devil can win. Dubbing in Cambodian. The audience response is good, so we are enthusiastic," he said.

The Devil In Blood tells the story of Haruni, 23 years old whose body is possessed by the devil. He feels like someone is attacking and moving from the inside, besides Haruni's pain, he also tends to hurt himself.

A young eye and religious doctor named Ahmad heard this terrible story from Haruni's parents. Haruni's sister named Hanum is undergoing eye treatment with doctor Ahmad.

Ahmad began to treat Haruni, until Ahmad concluded that Haruni's illness was due to demon disturbances and Haruni's incident had something to do with a case of suicide.

Ahmad and a friend of his police helped with the problems faced by Haruni, looked for data on people who committed suicide and expelled the evil spirit from Haruni's body. They both conducted investigations from different perspectives from their respective professions.

The closeness of Indonesian and Malaysian culture has, according to Yannie, made Indonesian films easy for Malaysian audiences to accept. "In Blood we use rukyah which is also popular in Malaysia. So we hope to run well with the screening of the Devil in Blood," he explained.
