Macabre

In the dim, rain‑slicked streets of an unnamed Indonesian city, a tight‑knit group of six friends set out for a routine trip to the airport. Their camaraderie is tested when they stop to help a desperate woman stranded on the roadside, offering her a ride home. What begins as an act of kindness quickly spirals into a nightmarish ordeal, pulling the travelers into an isolated house where the ordinary world gives way to a chilling, claustrophobic atmosphere that feels both intimate and suffocating.

At the heart of the story are Adjie, a pragmatic man on the cusp of a new life in Sydney, and his pregnant wife Astrid, whose quiet strength anchors the group. Their circle includes Alam, a loyal friend with a relaxed demeanor; Eko and Jimi, both eager for adventure; and Ladya, Adjie’s sister, whose hesitant presence adds an undercurrent of familial tension. The stranger they rescue, Maya, leads them to a remote home ruled by Dara, a mother whose genteel exterior masks an unsettling authority, and her sons Adam and Arman, whose polite courtesy hints at something far darker beneath the surface.

The film unfolds in a tense, oppressive tone that blends visceral horror with a slow‑burning dread, emphasizing the terror of being trapped in a place where hospitality becomes a weapon. As night deepens, the friends confront the unsettling dynamic of a household that seems to have been waiting for them, and the story teeters on the edge of survival, trust, and the primal fear of being preyed upon by a seemingly ordinary family. The mood is relentless, the visuals stark, and the sense of danger ever‑present, promising a harrowing journey that tests the limits of each character’s resolve without revealing the full horror that lies ahead.
