Review: “The Ghost of Mount Kawi” (2017)

The 2017 Indonesian horror film “The Ghost of Mount Kawi” is a chilling tale that weaves together elements of supernatural mystery and familial intrigue. Directed by Nadia Shafira, the movie stars Maxime Bouttier, Roro Fitria, Jordi Onsu, Indra Birowo, and Roy Marten, and delves into the eerie phenomena surrounding Mount Kawi, a location steeped in folklore and mysticism. The film is set against the backdrop of a small town in Indonesia, where a series of unsettling events begin to unravel the secrets of the past.

The story follows Dika, a young man whose concern for his father, Drajat, grows as he notices his father’s increasingly strange and terrifying behavior. Drajat, played by Indra Birowo, is a 46-year-old man whose oddities begin to intensify after his cigarette factory goes bankrupt. Bella, Dika’s cousin and a 20-year-old woman, who helps oversee Drajat, finds herself in a perilous situation when she is nearly killed, only to be assumed dead. The tension escalates as Dika discovers photographs of Drajat with his grandfather at Mount Kawi, leading him to suspect that his father is engaged in practices of pesugihan, or enriching mantra, a form of spiritual empowerment rooted in the traditions of Mount Kawi.

Determined to uncover the truth, Dika, along with Bella and a group of friends, embarks on a journey to Mount Kawi, where they seek the guidance of Mbah Kawi, a local spiritual figure. The group, including Jono Kawat, a school security guard who claims to have worked selling tuyul (small) crackers at Mount Kawi, faces a series of challenges and encounters with the supernatural. The film effectively builds suspense and fear, keeping the audience on edge as they navigate the treacherous and mystical environment of Mount Kawi. The film’s atmospheric tension and the compelling performances of the cast make “The Ghost of Mount Kawi” a must-watch for fans of the horror genre.
