The latest horror film from the Hitmaker Studios production house will be shown on the Indonesian cinema network starting November 7 2024. Apart from Indonesia, this film will also be shown in 9 countries in Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific.

The nine countries that will be the destinations for Segoro Pitu’s Santet are Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Australia and New Zealand. “There will be two to three more countries that will follow,” said Santet Segoro Pitu producer Rocky Soraya during a press conference at XXI Plaza Indonesia, Saturday (2/11).

Apart from Santet Segoro Pitu, another horror film by Hitmaker Studios which is currently showing in cinemas and has received more than 1.4 million viewers, Sumala, will also be shown in this list of countries. Rocky also announced another horror film that will be released next month will also follow Sumala and Santet Segoro Pitu.

“This is the second month that the film Hitmaker is in cinemas. Hopefully the film will be well received by the audience. “We are trying to make a horror film that is different from before,” said Rocky Soraya, who collaborated with Tommy Dewo as director, as well as Christian Sugiono, Sara Wijayanto, Ari Irham and Sandrina Michelle as stars in the film.

Santet Segoro Pitu follows the story of Ardi, who has had a sixth sense since childhood and feels uncomfortable with this ability. As much as possible he always avoids the market.

For Ardi, the market is a place with a terrible “world”. The market is a place for trading but also a place of fraud, lies, false oaths, broken promises, and worst of all, alliances with supernatural beings. But Ardi couldn’t always avoid that place.

One day his father, Sucipto, who had a shop in the market, found a mysterious package and heard the sound of a scary group of inland tribes. After that he vomited blood and became sick. Ardi was forced to take care of the shop in place of his father and saw the terrible “situation” in the market.

Then things got worse. Arif, Ardi’s younger brother and Marni, Ardi’s mother also fell ill. Ardi and his younger sister, Syifa, believe that the incident was a black magic attack and that they will both suffer the same fate. They are looking for a way to survive this deadly witchcraft. A high level of black magic from outside Java is called Segoro Pitu Santet. (M-1)
