JAKARTA - In the midst of the onslaught of horror films that have flooded cinemas, WAKAF is here to bring a religious horror feel. One of the peculiarities of the film, which is the third film from Super Media Pictures, is the common thread of the story that raises and discusses waqf problems with entertainment and religious values.

The film, directed by Adi Garin and produced by Unchu Viejay, has started the production process since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. From the start, this film was intended to present social issues for Muslim society, which have never even been raised, especially in the horror genre.

"We want to offer stories that are not just entertaining, but also photograph the concrete social phenomena of Muslim society. This is happening in real life. There are social problems of Muslim society that need to be raised awareness for the community in an entertainment way," said Adi Garin from a media broadcast received by VOI, Wednesday, October 25.

The Waqf film tells the story of Delia (Putri Delina) and Farhan (M. Yusuf Al-Lampusi) who witnessed the emergence of heinous ambitions among their parents who clashed over Amrullah's (Yan Widjaya) waqf land on which there was a prayer room that had been intended for the benefit of the villagers.

The dark power of the jinn nation finally intervened under the intermediary of Ki Japa (Egi Fedly) and that's where the bloodshed was inevitable. Terror for the sake of terror spreads due to one big sin.

Efforts to investigate who is the real mastermind behind the chaos and contamination of the dignity of the waqf's mandate will bring Delia to the test, until she is killed by Jin Anzar.

Airing starting October 26, 2023 in all Indonesian cinemas. Waqf film stars young celebrities Putri Delina, M. Yusuf Al-Lampungi, Kiki Amalia, Yan Widjaya, Julian Kunto, Arswendy Beningswara, Egi Fedly, and Oce Permatasari.
