JAKARTA - The production house of Helroad Production is ready to show the film Devil in Blood on May 18, 2023 in Malaysia and May 25 in Laos. Reflecting on the screening of the film Ahead of sunset, producer and director Helfi Kardit hopes that the film, starring Michelle Joan, Ryaas Randa, Cut Ashifa Al'ar, and Soraya Rasyid, will also be well received.
"Our first film, Ahead of Maghrib, became one of 10 Indonesian films that were best-selling in Malaysia. At that time the income reached 1.8 million Ringgit. So we are very enthusiastic that the Devil in Blood will appear in Malaysia," said Helfi.
The mental health theme tucked in the film Ahead of Maghrib managed to bring this film to appear at the Molinas Film Festival in Barcelona, Spain. This festival became a place for the cinemas of horror films and this year entered its 41st event.
"In addition to being successful in Malaysia, this film was also taken by AMC Network region Spain distributors," said Helfi.
With this achievement, Helfi is sure that the film Devil in Blood can also be accepted by Malaysian audiences. "Because it's not just horror that we put forward. But there are religious and mental health as well," he said.
This film has also aired in Cambodia and received a pretty good response. "The censorship is quite challenging, because in Cambodia there can't be a devil winning. Dubbing in Cambodian. The audience response is good, so we are enthusiastic," he said.
The Devil In Blood, directed by Yannie Sukarya, tells the story of Haruni, 23 years old whose body is in the devil's circle. Hannie, who is also the Producer, Ahead of sunset, feels like someone is attacking and moving from the inside, in addition to Haruni's pain, tends to hurt herself.
A young eye and religious doctor named Ahmad heard this terrible story from Haruni's parents. Haruni's sister named Hanum is undergoing eye treatment with doctor Ahmad. Ahmad began to treat Haruni, until Ahmad concluded that Haruni's illness was due to demon disturbances and Haruni's incident had something to do with a case of suicide.
Ahmad and a friend of his police helped with the problems faced by Haruni, looked for data on people who committed suicide and expelled the evil spirit from Haruni's body. They both conducted investigations from different perspectives from their respective professions.
