JAKARTA - The film Anak Titipan Setan is ready to premiere on January 12, 2023. This film is directed and produced by Erwin Arnada. The child of Titipan Setan stars Gisella Anastasia, Ingrid Widjanarko and Annisa Hertami.

The idea of a story from the Child of the Devils was inspired by journalistic reports that Erwin Arnada himself made in 1994, when he was still active in the world of journalism. There I met a family who performed panleh rituals. This ritual is not popular in society, because the sacrifice is heavy," said Erwin Arnada when visiting VOI, Tuesday, December 13.

Based on the observations of the panleh series ritual, the story of the Devils' Child was developed six years ago. If I make the story in 2016. This is an event in the 80s-90s and we made it in 2016. Only yesterday there were a few other works that can only be shown now (aired). Yes, hopefully it will be accepted by the market," said Erwin.

The film Anak Titipan Setan tells the story of Putri (Gisella Anastasia) who must return to her village from Australia because her family in Meloyo Kidul village, Surakarta is having a big problem. Eyang Susana (Ingrid Widjanarko), the mother of Putri forced Putri to come home with her son, who is believed to be a solution to the problems she faces.

The problem that threatened the whole family's safety began when Eyang Susana took part in the ritual of pesugihan and tied the agreement with the comer's devil. How Putri reveals the mystery of the family and completes the agreement with the owner of the story became the main idea of this film.

In this film, the conflict between Mayang Susana and Putri will be displayed. The point of the Devils' child is about the ritual of pesugihan. This film will present a conflict between Mayang Susana and Putri which is actually based on what has happened years before, "said Edwin.

Not only featuring mystical things, this film also displays another side that has its own message. It's not just the horror that is being put forward here, but the culture, culture, and also a lot of education that power and luxury are not everything," said Ingrid Widjanarko.

I myself have concerns about cultural matters. So in this film there will also be cultural approaches that we use," continued Edwin.

Gisel admitted that he was enthusiastic about the release of this first horror film. "This is my first horror film. So I am very enthusiastic about waiting for it to be screened. This horror film is not just a scare but gives us an overview of the risks of bad deeds being done," he said.
