The atmosphere of horror began to shroud the month of October which is identical to the month of horror because it coincides with Halloween at the end of this tenth month. Along with that scary month, of course, there will be many horror films that will be released this October. One of the horror thriller films released in October 2022 is a film directed by IDN Pictures entitled Inang.

Inang is very unique, because it provides an unexpected plot twist, by discussing the ritual of rejecting bad luck in the style of ancient Javanese culture. The cast of the film Inang also presented a number of actresses and actors whose acting was very capable, namely Rukman Rosadi, Lydia Kandou, Dimas Anggara, Rania Putrisari, Totos Rasiti, Ruth Marini, Pritt Timothy, Nungki Kusumastuti, Yusuf Ozkan, Muzakki Ramdhan, and Emil Kusumo. Curious about the film Inang, which was also a success at the Bucheon International Fantasy Film Festival? Here is a review of the film Inang! 

Raising Javanese Tradition Beliefs about Pregnancy and Birth Day

Inang is a film about a woman named Wulan, played by Naysila Mirdad, who becomes pregnant out of wedlock. This film gives viewers a lot of insight into the traditions in Java that link the experience of pregnancy with people's beliefs about the day of birth or weton.

Because the ex-girlfriend who impregnated Wulan was irresponsible, finally Wulan, who lived a mediocre life, was forced to find foster parents for her child later through a Facebook group. In the Facebook group, Wulan met the Santoso family, an old husband, and wife who claimed they wanted to have another baby.

Satirize Many Social Issues in the Capital

Apart from discussing Javanese traditions, the film Inang also satirizes various social problems that are present in the Indonesian capital. Despite working as a cashier at a supermarket, Wulan's daily life was mediocre due to the high cost of living in the capital. Especially after her pregnancy, Wulan, who will become a single mother, has to prepare a lot of money.

In the apartment where Wulan lives, many social issues of the capital are shown here. Starting from the many buskers looking for change wearing clowns or silver men costumes, Wulan's neighbors making a living as an escort, to the owner who will kick Wulan out if she continues to pay the rent late.

When Wulan wanted to ask for her salary earlier at work to pay for the apartment, her boss even tried to harass her. Wulan slapped her boss and immediately resigned from her job. Because she doesn't have a job anymore, Wulan can't help but accept the Santoso family's offer, who wants to be his child's foster parents, to move and live in his big house in the middle of the forest and far from anywhere.

Shortly after moving in with the Santoso family, strange things started to happen. These various oddities can even harm the fetus and Wulan's own body. While she was trying to free herself from the evil that threatened to take Wulan's life and her womb, the son of the Santoso family named Bergas arrived after traveling abroad. Can Bergas be trusted to keep Wulan and her fetus safe? What secrets exist between the Santoso family and what does this have to do with ancient Javanese traditions?

A Movie Showcases the Acting Skills of the Mother and Daughter Actress

The film Inang tells the story of Wulan, who represents the harsh reality of a single mother who is fighting for her life as well as her unborn baby. This horror-thriller genre film, which was worked on by director Fajar Nugros, has long been waiting for its release in cinemas. Inang is also one of the films produced under the auspices of IDN Pictures which also briefly launched a comedy film titled Srimulat: Hill Yang Mustahal in 2021.

What's interesting about this film is that it presents an acting duet between 2 famous mother-and-daughter actresses, namely Naysila Mirdad and Lydia Kandou. Both of them have looked stunning in various titles of films and soap operas in Indonesia. In the film Host, Naysila will act as a woman whose child will be adopted by an unknown person, played by her mother, Lydia Kandou.

As a result, the performance of this top actress duo is unquestionable, which is certainly a challenge. However, the awkward feeling shown by Wulan (Naysila Mirdad) when facing an unknown person (Lydia Kandou) who wants to make her a family member really proves their acting skills are quite capable.

The film Inang tells the story of a Javanese cultural tradition that discusses a mystical thing called Wednesday Wekasan, which is Wednesday in the month of Sapar in the Javanese calendar and is considered an unlucky day. The story focuses on a woman's struggle against an evil force that wants to take her son's life. Prior to its domestic release, the film Host had its premiere at the Bucheon International Fantasy Film Festival, South Korea on July 7, 2022.

Inang is a horror thriller film that is fun to watch, because it gives an unexpected plot twist, by discussing the mystical things of Ancient Javanese culture. The cast of the film Inang also presented a number of well-known actresses and actors.

Well, that's the discussion of the review of the film Inang, a horror thriller film that tells about the unlucky day of Wednesday Wekasan. In your opinion, are there any other horror films with stories about unlucky days and pregnancy like Inang? You can share them in the comments
