Suwung

Once upon a time Nyi Patek often terrorized the people of Karangnongko village at the foot of Mount Merapi. She kidnapped children to become slaves. At that time also in Karangnongko stood a hermitage led by Ki Iklik, which made Nyi Patek able to be crippled and locked in a well. At the hermitage also lives Ayu who works as a jathilan dancer. Ayu has a special relationship with Ningrum. Then, comes Sapta, the writer, who attracts Ayu's heart. At the same time Nyi Patek that was paralyzed by Ki Iklik, is terrorizing again the village of Karangnongko. Apparently Nyi Patek has a past bond with Ayu.

Directed by Hamka Winovan, Suwung leans on a strong ensemble — Lionil Hendrik Tikoalu, Weni Panca, Inez Fahri — 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 2019.
