JAKARTA - Director Bene Dion Rajagukguk presents his latest film titled Horrible Horror Sedap. The film, produced by Imaginary, tells the story of a Batak family with the conflicts experienced by immigrants.

Horror Ngeri Sedap is Bene Dion's second work after debuting with Ghost Writer in 2019. In this film, he collaborates with many comedians who are challenged to take acting seriously. A challenge but a new color in Indonesian cinema.

Here are four reasons why the movie Horror Sedap is a must-watch:

Warm Family Theme

Horror Ngeri Sedap tells that Marlina (Tika Panggabean) feels restless because her four children have not visited their hometown for a long time. This is because the four children are busy with their respective careers.

One day, Marlina arranges a big fight with her husband, Mr. Domu (Arswendy Beningswara) which threatens to divorce them. Hearing this, their four children: Domu (Boris Bokir), Sarma (Gita Bhebhita), Gabe (Lolox) and Sahat (Indra Jegel) agreed to return home in order to improve their parents' relationship.

Batak culture

There are not many films that highlight the life of the Batak family in an interesting way. Horror Horror Sedap chose Lake Toba as the film's background. In addition, in this film, the audience can see traditions and how the Batak family interacts.

In addition, this film also presents several Batak numbers produced by musician Viky Sianipar. He is one of the most popular Batak composers and started his career in 2002.

Comics Acting

Comics are often synonymous with comedy. They are also only trusted to fill the comedy part in one film. However, there is something different from Ngri Ngeri Sedap where comedians and comedians show their acting skills in drama films.

Boris Bokir, Gita Bhebhita, Indra Jegel, and Lolox performed their acting as the children of Domu and Marlina.

Positive Response

With an interesting theme, the film "Neri Ngeri Sedap" got 51,000 viewers on its first day of screening. This film also received a positive response, one of which was the Mayor of Medan, Bobby Nasution.

"The most important thing is that learning is not meant for children but parents must also learn, but the basis is still traditional. So this is mandatory to watch, not only for Medanese, but for those who are married to Medanese, they must also watch it," said Bobby Nasution.

"Hopefully this film can resonate and can relate to the audience later," said Bene Dion.

The movie Horror Sedap can be seen in theaters starting Thursday, June 2, 2022.
