About The Man Who Sits with the Dead
Descended from a long line of Satanists, a man is given the role of sitting with the dead. He gets fed up with and wants a normal life but is tempted back over to the dark side by necrophilia.
Directed by Jopi Burnama, The Man Who Sits with the Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Hengky Tornando, Lina Budiarti, Rani Soraya — 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 1988.
