Starring Reza Rahadian And Christine Hakim, Joko Anwar Wants To Prevent The Heart Of The Saksa Kubur Film Audience

JAKARTA - The Saksa Grave film released a teaser trailer on Thursday, February 21. The trailer teaser features previously announced stars such as Faradina Mufti, Reza Rahadian, Christine Hakim, Happy Salma, Fachri Albar and other Indonesian stars.

The Saksa Grave film presents a more realistic terror experience and immediately stabs into the hearts and minds of the audience. Director Joko Anwar said that the Siksa Kubur film which will be released during Lebaran 2024 will invite the audience to question their self-confidence through an intense and inspiring storyline. "Instead of just presenting jumpcare and sadness, Saksa Kubur will bring horror to the audience and question the faith they have after watching this film," said Director Joko Anwar in a written statement in Jakarta, Thursday. Joko Anwar said he wanted to make a horror film that is closer to the Indonesian people through the film Saksa Kubur by carrying religious themes. In the film, he will not only rely on tense visuals but at the same time bring the idea that stabs into the hearts of his audience.

Films made for people who don't believe in hiding their graves, this time their work will answer questions and become antithesis for many people who often echo that horror films are always demons.

"This is my 10th film. After 20 years of working as a writer and director, I think I want to make a film that has more meaning, more mature, and in terms of story and stronger character development than my previous films," he said.

According to him, he will not rely entirely on CGI assistance, but rather use practical effects to achieve maximum anxiety.

Joko tells the story of the shooting process. Because the biggest challenge that must be faced is to make all aspects of the film feel real and will come out of the grave.

In addition, sound arrangements that have always been a strong element also come with a tense design. This film half of the story is in the sound system. We want the audience to feel that they are in the events of their character, including in the grave," said Joko.
