Trauma of the Dead

Set in 2009, Trauma Kuntilanak tells the story of four students who are working on a horror documentary as their final assignment. The four students try to work on a story about a strange phenomenon in a housing complex where their friends have rented a house for the past few years. The complex has a rule, where no resident is allowed to leave because it is considered to disturb "Them" who are going around the complex. Unfortunately, one of them breaks the rule, so the four students have to bear the consequences. Will they survive?

Directed by Azzam Fi Rullah, Trauma of the Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Cemara Weda, Maudy Puteri Agusdina, Kurnia Alexander — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2023.
