DIRECTOR Tommy Dewo will debut his first film entitled Santet Segoro Pitu. This film tells the story of a family who was hit by a mysterious terror attack, and after being investigated, it was a Segoro Pitu black magic attack. The power of Segoro Pitu black magic is known to be strong and different from other types of black magic. This film is based on a true story that started from a thread on X (formerly Twitter) that went viral.
“Actually, I knew about this segoro pitu black magic, because the thread was quite viral. “Then from there, I happened to get confidence in this film, and we started reading about black magic,” said Tommy.
Since he got the opportunity to make this horror film, Tommy began to learn more about witchcraft itself. Tommy even said that even those closest to him had experienced black magic.
“Incidentally, some of my friends have experienced it firsthand, even though I’m skeptical, people don’t really believe it. But when someone near us experiences and seems to have really had a disaster, and what is it called, treatment is also carried out. “Moreover, we are from an eastern culture, so ‘somewhere out there’ definitely exists,” he explained.
Segoro Pitu black magic is one of the strongest types of black magic compared to other types, because this black magic can summon genies from different islands. The power of black magic is also caused by the rituals and ceremonies that must be carried out no joke.
“This Segoro Pitu black magic is called the most powerful black magic, because it requires ceremonies or rituals at coastal points in Java. To be able to bring something from across the island of Java itself, it’s strong from outside the island. And why can he cross the ocean? Because he is very powerful. “So it’s not just any genie, yes, it’s different from ordinary black magic,” explained Tommy.
For the synopsis, this film is set in Semarang in 1983, with a strong traditional Javanese theme. Tells the story of a father named Sucipto who suddenly finds a mysterious shipment.
After opening the post, strange things began to approach Sucipto’s family. Not only Sucipto experienced various mystical terrors, but also his wife (Marni) and children. This made Sucipto’s son, Ardi, and his younger sister Syifa, believe that the terror that had befallen them was an attack by black magic.
After investigating, it turned out that it was true that the disturbance that had been coming had been sent by black magic, called segoro pitu black magic. Can Ardi save his family who has been hit by this powerful and incomparable black magic attack?
The film Santet Segoro Pitu features a line-up of famous stars, including Ari Ilham, Sandrina Michelle, Christian Sugiono, Sara Wijayanto, and many more.
This film not only tells a horror story, but also about the struggle of a family who wants to be free from the trap of Segoro Pitu black magic. The film Santet Segoro Pitu will be shown starting November 7 2024 in Indonesian cinemas. Interested in watching it? (NA) (Z-12)
