JAKARTA - Pesugihan is still very familiar with the views of some Indonesians, so this theme is still relevant even in today's digital era. Not something new, but this theme can be a good lesson about the bad "instant path" to be rich.
Pesugihan: With Devil made by veteran director Hanny Saputra under the production of Virgo Putra Films. This film is about a small family, namely a husband and wife with two daughters who are not far apart. Hendri (played by Gary Iskak) is a successful businessman who handles many big projects and lives as a rich person from his business.
Hendri's wife, Marini (played by Nirina Zubir), is also not only a housewife in the family, but she is also in the same business as her husband.
One or two times, Marini even had a hand in determining her husband's business policy. Their two children, Resika (played by Isel Freicella) and Karin (Nicole Parham) are very warm brothers in their daily lives, not only at home but also at school, because they happen to be high school students at the same school.
This small family life can be said to be very happy with the abundance of unexpected wealth. This family home is described as very large and has privacy that is far from the density of the population. Hendri's family lives in peace with the family ties that have been built harmoniously for a long time. But that harmony slowly became disturbed, starting when Hendri and Marini heard the news that some of their colleagues mysteriously disappeared one by one. Hendri and Marini should be anxious because many of the missing people were their business partners.
At the same time, their child Karin begins to often show strange behavior at school. He often finds an unprecedented visualization. Here, the audience will begin to feel familiar with scary stories at school: the appearance of mystery figures in the classroom, scary experiences in the bathroom, and magical whispers.
The mystery that surrounds Karin seems to continue at home. He once had a nightmare, died from being twisted by a keris, before waking up at two in the morning, and being disturbed by a number of supernatural beings. Karin thinks all the disturbances are real even though her older brother, Resika, thinks her sister is just▁contohda.
Unlike Karin, Resika has never had a frightening experience like her sister did. This is one of the next story nodes about why supernatural creatures are always eyeing Karin and not Resika.
At school, Resika tried to ask her friend, Jefta (played by Naufal Azhar), who is known to be quiet and often alone. His school friends think that Jefta has special abilities related to the world of astrality. Through this figure of Jefta, it is beginning to slowly reveal what has been troubling Karin.
What happened to Karin finally made her fall and had to rest at home. At home, the direction of the story "who is evil, who is good" begins to wake up when one by one the figure who serves the Hendri family appears with their respective characters. There is the Tono driver who often disappears, Siti's household assistant who has unpredictable expressions, and garden nurse Adi who talks as needed. They clearly realized something wrong is hitting their employer.
Quoted from ANTARA, conflicts developed about whether Karin should be taken to the hospital or "smart people". Marini and Resika believe that Karin is being disturbed by spirits, while Hendri insists that her youngest child only suffers from ordinary illness.
Not satisfied with the decision to take Karin to the hospital, Resika invited her boyfriend, Dion (played by Randy Martin), and Jefta to go to the shaman. Obviously, the shaman assumed that there was a subtle creature in charge of disturbing Karin and eating away at her. He also provided Resika with a number of mantras that had to be pronounced for Karin.
But the mantra remains a mantra. Jampi Resika is not effective in repelling the evil spirit that haunts her sister. Instead, Karin actually fights whenever there are people who want to "clean it up". Later, not only Karin gets disturbed but also her mother, Marini. He knows the disturbances that have plagued his family have a relationship with a keris that is stored in a family heritage antique cupboard. Marini also believes that her husband Hendri should understand how to end the terror.
Hendri immediately moved to save his family. At this point, the storyline begins to feel clear and leads to who is behind the thickness of the mystery in the Hendri family. Several times he tried to cancel his dark agreement with the devil, but that much he always failed.
There is no negotiation about absolute fellowship and sacrifice. Finally, this 83-minute film ended tragically and left a universal message about how cheap some lives would be just to pursue the sparkling world.
"Pusugihan: Putting together with the Devils" is not a horror play that aims to make the audience shocked, shrink eyebrows and forehead because of the storyline, or present an interpretation of the story that is too far away. The horror presented throughout the story of this film tends to be light (light) even though there are still some gore scenes in it.
In fact, some of the scenes in this film that should be scary actually invite scaled decak, for example the momentum of Hendri's grief during the meeting or the momentum of Adi's garden nurse.
Furthermore, "Pesugihan: Putsih dengan Devil" is a family drama that unfurls a simple and strong message about the importance of family ties exceeding the temptation of the world. "Humans are crazy, forget about what is more valuable," is a clear meaning implied towards the end of this film scenario.
Some of the twists that appear in this film are also interesting to watch, such as Resika's relationship with her family, a mysterious Keris mission that always recognizes who to aim for, and Jefta with his yoyo toys.
Throughout the film, Gary Iskak, who plays the figure of Hendri and Nirina Zuibir's return to a horror scene as Marini, gave her own nostalgic impression when the two competed acting. Nirina Zubir last played a horror film in the "mirror" which was released last 2005.
Meanwhile, appreciation should be continued for the efforts of young actress Nicole Parham when playing Karin who has to be "nyindent" or contain Javanese songs. It's not an easy matter to keep the mood full of anger by throwing out the line with certain regional dialects. Moreover, Nicole did it several times while in the classroom and in the room.
Even so, Nicole's emotional side when raging and having a Javanese dialogue may feel more tense and easy to understand if there is assistance in Indonesian subtitles.
However, the actress who also played in the film "Demon'sisikan" was classified as total playing the scene of sensile, for example screaming hysterically and it happened almost along the film - at least since she started being possessed until the end of the story.
The scenario of the film Pesugihan: Listening to the Devil was written by Salman Fariz and Oka Aurora. The film, which starts airing on February 23, 2023, can certainly be an option for an exciting spectacle with family because the scenes and stories can indeed be enjoyed by children aged tens of years.
