Danyang: Mahar Tukar Nyawa

A young farm worker named Galang falls in love with Resti, who was born into a rich family. As a result, Resti's parents forbade Galang from loving their daughter. Unable to accept that her love was not approved, Galang decided to go to Mount Srandil to seek healing. Over time, Galang's life was filled with wealth, with the condition that Galang must regularly offer sacrifices for his life. One day, Dasmi found out about the place where her daughter-in-law was being offered, and Galang secretly came to her in-laws' house. There, Galang found his in-laws' offering room. Worried about saving Resti, both Galang and Dasmi decided to go to Segoro Sewu to carry out a sacrificial exchange ritual. When they arrived at Segoro Sewu, they accidentally met and had an illicit relationship as a condition for the sacrificial exchange ritual.

Directed by Faozan Rizal, Danyang: Mahar Tukar Nyawa leans on a strong ensemble — Wulan Guritno, Bhisma Mulia, Sahila Hisyam — 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 2024.
