JAKARTA - Prilly Latuconsina's figure has become an Indonesian horror icon thanks to her role as Risa Saraswati in the Danur: The Last Chapter film universe.
Ten years is not a short time for an actor to bring to life the same character. Interestingly, this decade-long journey has changed Prilly's view of the supernatural world.
On a recent Q&A opportunity, Prilly shared a story about the memories and psychological impact she felt after a decade of playing Risa. For him, this character is not just a role, but has stuck closely to him.
While most people feel afraid or horrified when discussing ghosts, Prilly feels differently. Used to studying the Danur script since the first film, he admitted that he was now more easily empathized with the existence of ghosts.
"10 years as the character Risa who sticks to me, I think the ghost is good. Because every time I read Danur's script from the first one, I think the evil ghost must have a story, there must be something behind it why he can be like that," said Prilly Latuconsina in Central Jakarta, Monday, January 12.
According to him, this view makes him no longer view the invisible creature as just a scary figure, but as a figure with its own historical background.
"So more empathetic to the creatures out there," he added.
Not only that, Prilly's success in bringing the character of Risa Saraswati to life, he admitted, made the public seem to find it difficult to separate Prilly's real identity from her character in the film.
Prilly revealed that wherever she went, the question about the continuation of Danur always haunted her - even when she was promoting a non-horror film project.
"Wherever I am, I want to launch another film, there are always Danur fans everywhere who always ask, 'Risa, Risa, when is Danur?'. That's really sticky," he said with a smile.
Danur: The Last Chapter itself will only be released on Lebaran 2026!
