A Prologue’s End

Siti (30), a middle-aged woman waiting for his husband did a penance to get a child in a room of their house. During the 40 days of the penance, Siti was not allowed to meet or even see her husband. Every day, Siti had to deliver food for her husband and had to turn away so she didn’t see her husband. On the 40th day, Siti was happy because her husband’s hermitage would finish at 12 o’clock at night. However, after 12 o’clock at night, her husband did not come out of the room.

Directed by Khairul Mustofa, A Prologue’s End leans on a strong ensemble — Nani Yudi, Buyung Ispramadi — 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 2022.
