JAKARTA - MVP Pictures has again presented a film from one of their IPs, Hantu Island. Although the name is the same as the previous film in 2007, they promised something new from the latest version.

Hantu Island (2024) is played by Taskya Namya, Bukie N., Hannah Hanon, Cindy Nirmala, Samo Rafael, Amanda Green, Verdi Solaiman, and so on. This film is also directed by Ferry Pei Irawan.

We know that Hantu Island is a big IP, but at that time Indonesia's horror type was sexy horror. Of course it's not at all here. IP Hantu Island is big and the title is straight to the point so we made it but our approach is different but like usual doing something that hasn't been done yet," said Amrit Punjabi as the producer of the film Pulau Hantu in a press conference on Friday, October 4.

"The opportunity to find a story like this is not easy. I see this as a new start of Hantu Island. We start from scratch. We hope this has a big universe but at the same time, we will make 2 or 3 others but we make Hantu Island as a standalone, not connected," he continued.

Erwanto Alphadullah as the writer also feels that family topics are something that is never boring to tell. As a result, in his latest film, he also slipped the family's story in the midst of terror from Hantu Island.

"Always interested in talking about family because I can't, I love my family and learn a lot about survival. Discussing that family never ends because your partner may not exist, but everyone has a family," said Erwanto.

The players also expressed the same opinion. Not looking at age, everyone agreed that the family plot supports the journey of the film.

"At that time the message was very strong when I received the script for discussions with Pei, this is a very good role. I can give a good message to the audience and the drama is quite deep, of course, not inferior to the horror side, just balance and I believe in Pei," said Izabel Jahja.

"There are quite a lot of messages that can be taken because when we grow up, we want to be considered adults but believe that mother prayers beat everything and it's true when a child doesn't listen, doesn't have blessing, it doesn't go smoothly," said Taskya Namya.

Hantu Island (2024) tells the story of Dara (Taskya Namya) who chooses to celebrate college graduation with her friends even though her mother (Izabel Jahja) has banned her. They vacationed by boat until one day they were stranded on an island that turned out to be haunted.

Film Pulau Hantu akan tayang di bioskop Indonesia mulai 10 Oktober 2024.
