The movie combines supernatural horror with its home country’s cultural and social issues.
Omnibus Entertainment releases INDERA on VOD and digital platforms October 31. Directed by Woo Ming Jin, who scripted with Deo Mahameru and Muzzamer Rahman, it stars Shaheizy Sam, Azira Shafinaz, Samara Kenzo, Ruminah Sidek and Adlin Aman Ramlie. The synopsis: “INDERA is set against the backdrop of a real-life standoff between the government’s police forces and villagers deep in rural Malaysia, where spirits and demons are as dangerous as guns and knives. With 1985’s real-life Memali Incident in the background, INDERA centers on Joe [Sam], a handyman doing his best to raise his young, non-verbal daughter Sofia [Kenzo] in the wake of his wife’s tragic death. Penniless and evicted, he takes on the position of caretaker for an older Javanese woman [Sidek], who claims she can help Sophia speak again. But as her unorthodox treatment progresses, Joe and Sophia begin experiencing terrifying visions that threaten their grip on reality.”
