HASUT
Vira (Karina Salim), a therapist, takes her younger sister Rere (Rachel Amanda) and their two friends, Dharma (Marthino Lio) and Derry (Kevin Ardilova), deep into the forest to undergo a healing ritual. They hope to find peace as they confront the emotional wounds and personal struggles they have long kept hidden. However, their healing journey turns into a mysterious ordeal when strange voices begin coming through a handheld radio. The voices gradually stir fear and sow suspicion among Vira, Rere, Dharma, and Derry. Each message seems to reveal new information, while at the same time making it increasingly difficult for them to determine who is telling the truth and who is trying to manipulate the others.
Hasut marks Ilya Sigma’s feature-film directorial debut. He was previously better known for his work as a screenwriter and producer. The film builds tension through mysterious voices, suspicion, manipulation, and conflict among its characters. Actress Karina Salim described the film’s approach as compelling because it creates a sense of fear without relying on ghosts. The Indonesian Film Censorship Institution (LSF) has classified Hasut for audiences aged 17 and above. Be discerning in selecting content suitable for your age. (fas)
