JAKARTA - The latest horror film by director Ginanti Rona entitled Susuk: Beauty Curses will be released next week. This film is worked on in the hope of giving something new from many other Indonesian horror films.

El Gibran's large Elang in Yogyakarta confirmed what Jourdy said. Although he never experienced mystical events directly, Elang admitted that he knew the background of the place he was shooting.
