Hantu Aborsi

Since moving to this new house, Caca is often heard laughing and talking in her room that she occupies alone. Caca tells her parents, Devi and Handy, that there is another girl, Cinta, playing in the room every afternoon at the time of “maghrib” (Muslim prayer time at 6 pm). Caca’s parents at first believe that the girl is just her imaginary friend. But after a while Devi believes her when she starts to experience scary occurrences around sunset.

Directed by Toto Hoedi, Hantu Aborsi leans on a strong ensemble — Bulan Ayu, Happy Salma, Okan Cornelius — 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 2008.
