It’s a remake of the acclaimed kidnapping chiller THE BOY BEHIND THE DOOR from a few years back, with a gender switch.
MONSTER, directed by Rako Prijanto (PERFECT STRANGERS) from a script by Alim Sudio, will premiere on Netflix on a date in May to be announced; keep an eye on the film’s official page. It stars Sulthan Hamonangan, Anantya Kirana, Marsha Timothy and Alex Abbad; the synopsis: “It was supposed to be a normal day for Alana [Hamonangan] and Zara [Kirana]. A day when they came home from school, rode their bikes, and then spent time by the river, reading their favorite comics, which they had just rented from the library. However, that day became the most terrifying day of Alana and Zara’s lives, when a strange man [Abbad] kidnapped them both. The man drugged and gagged them in the trunk of his car and took them, far away, to another area at the top of a mountain. Zara is dropped off first and kept in a room in a villa. Alana, who was left in the trunk, managed to escape. Alana immediately ran away, but remembered the whereabouts of her best friend who was still in the Villa. Alana decided to go back and use all means to escape the threat of the ‘Monster.’”
