Short filmTranscript
00:00The movie begins in Trangalic in 2015 where a team of paranormal investigators interviews a
00:10pregnant woman. Godhu mentions they are there to check on IU's condition and her well-being. When
00:15asked if he still doubts her ability to unify, Godhu responds they are there to ensure no problems
00:22have arisen since the incident. The woman laughs at the mention of this incident and the scene
00:27abruptly cuts off. The movie then flashes back five years. IU and her friend Rara are performing
00:34a cultural dance while their team films them. Suddenly something strange happens to IU who
00:39begins performing erratic dance movements. The others are shocked and as they approach IU
00:44cautiously she collapses. As they begin taking her away, an entity possesses IU, visible only
00:51to a Bible. Later IU's dad Guido returns home and questions why they're back early. Inside he
00:58checks on IU and Rara explains she was feeling tired so they brought her home. Later Guido asks
01:05Rara if everything she told him is true. Just then IU's mother Ajeng arrives and asks about IU,
01:11learning she's resting in her room. Ajeng moves to check on her but Rara stops her and tells her
01:17about IU's strange behavior at the river. Ajeng attributes it to IU's menstrual cycle which makes
01:23her tired and weak. The next day IU tries to call her boyfriend Reza but the call fails. Suddenly
01:31someone passes in front of her. Thinking it was her mother, IU goes to the bathroom to check but
01:36finds no one there. Then there is a knock on the main door and as IU goes to open it, an entity
01:42appears in the bathroom. Rara is at the door and tells IU to get ready quickly but IU says
01:48she needs to go to the bathroom first. While Rara waits, she hears someone singing a Javanese song
01:54from inside the house. Confused, she goes to check and suddenly IU returns and startles her
02:00and as they leave we again see the entity there. Next we see them at a school assembly. While
02:06talking, Rara gets scared as she sees the entity standing in place of IU. The entity then
02:12possesses IU who starts screaming loudly causing a stampede and many other students along with IU
02:19get possessed. Rara asks IU what she's doing but IU does not respond and continues dancing. Later,
02:26IU's parents are called to the school where Miss Novita informs them that IU kept singing and
02:32dancing to a Javanese song. She advises them to take IU home, give her support and pay more
02:38attention to her condition. That evening, during dinner, IU behaves very strangely, filling her
02:45plate with lots of rice and eating it oddly. Guido asks her if she remembers anything from Watu Kandang
02:52but Ahjang intervenes and stops him from questioning her. After finishing all the food,
02:58IU gets up and tells them that she is going to her room. After Ahjang leaves, Guido suggests
03:04they consult a spiritual expert because he believes something happened to IU at Watu Kandang.
03:10He also advises against telling the villagers about this for now, fearing it could damage their
03:15family's reputation and lead to ostracization. Later that night, IU gets a call from Reza who
03:21apologizes for not being in touch due to being selected for special training. IU accepts his
03:27apology, saying it's okay, and Reza promises to call her the next day when he is free. The next
03:33day, while searching for Abidin and Rendra, Rara discovers that they disappeared after filming the
03:39other day. Later that evening, she visits IU and shows her the video they recorded, pointing out
03:44that it clearly shows IU was possessed right after Abidin took something from Watu Kandang.
03:51IU asks if she believes that if they find him, she won't snap again, to which Rara admits she's
03:56unsure, but if Abidin did take something, there might be a cure, but they need to find him first.
04:02The next day, while Guido is working at his workshop, he is startled to see someone standing
04:08there. However, when he gets out to investigate, he finds no one present. As he looks around,
04:13he suddenly hears someone singing a song, and to his shock, he sees IU's reflection in the side
04:19mirror of the car. As he approaches her, a sound distracts him, and he is shocked to find no one
04:25inside the car. Meanwhile, Rara is watching a video at home when suddenly someone tries to
04:31open her room door. Startled, she steps out to check but sees no one, so she returns to her room
04:37and sits down. Suddenly, she starts hearing the same Javanese song and becomes frightened upon
04:43seeing the shadow of an entity on the window. She hides under her blanket, and when she wakes up,
04:49she finds herself at Watu Kandang. IU is also there, and Rara tells her that Aladdin took
04:55something. Suddenly, IU transforms into that entity, and Aladdin and the others start laughing
05:01at Rara. The entity grabs her and tells her not to be afraid, because it loves the girl.
05:07Rara wakes up in the middle of the night, realizing it was just a nightmare. Terrified,
05:12she calls IU, but IU doesn't pick up. The scene reveals the entity sitting next to the sleeping
05:18IU, singing the song to her. The next morning, IU's parents take her to a village cleansing
05:24ceremony. As the ceremony begins, IU becomes possessed in front of the villagers and starts
05:29singing a Javanese song, shocking everyone. Ah-Jeng and Gido try to bring her to her senses,
05:36but she gets up and begins moving forward. The village elder, Mr. Dai, asks them to let her walk
05:42and instructs them to play the gamelan. IU sits down and faints, and when she regains
05:47consciousness, she is completely possessed. Seeing her in this state, the villagers become terrified
05:54and flee from the scene. IU picks up a flower from a plate, eats it, and starts laughing,
06:00and when Gido tries to bring her back to her senses, she faints again. Now, because Ah-Jeng
06:06and Gido didn't want the villagers to talk too much about it, they take IU out of the village
06:10to many spiritual experts to rid her of the entity. However, the entity was so strong that
06:16no one could free her from it. With no other options left, Gido and Rara take IU to Mr. Dai,
06:23where the entity possesses IU and finally reveals its true form, causing both Mr. D and IU to
06:30immediately fall unconscious. Gido and Rara rush to tend to them, and when Mr. D regains consciousness,
06:37he informs them that the entity is Madam Sarin Ten, the guardian of Watu Kandang. Rara tells him
06:43about a dream she had a few days ago and asks if it could be tied to their friend who took
06:48something from Watu Kandang. Mr. D asks if she can find her friend. As they prepare to leave,
06:54Rara tells Gido about a group that travels all over Java making videos about the supernatural.
07:00He expresses concern about IU becoming a spectacle, but Rara explains that with their help,
07:06they might be able to find Abidin and Rendra. Later, Reza visits IU and says she sounded upset
07:12when they talked on the phone. She assures him that she is okay, but he notices she seems different
07:18and not her usual self. She insists she's fine and asks if they have to argue the one time they meet,
07:25to which he says he just wants to make sure she's all right. IU begins laughing, and when he asks
07:30why she's laughing, Sarin Ten speaks through her, saying IU is not lying. Frustrated, Reza tells her
07:37to stop joking around. Rara asks where IU is, and they are shocked to find she's not there.
07:44They start looking for her, and Rara finds her dancing outside. She tells her parents,
07:49and they all come out. And when Reza asks what's wrong, Sarin Ten asks if he is the one who loves
07:55this girl. She questions if his love is sincere or not, then begins laughing and faints. Meanwhile,
08:02the paranormal investigators, Gadoo, Jenta, and Thea stop on their way to IU's house because the
08:08car can't get through. On the other hand, while Ah-Jung is praying with IU, she is horrified to
08:14see Sarin Ten's reflection on the wall. However, when she looks towards that direction, she sees
08:20IU there instead. Meanwhile, choppy singing starts on the investigators' car, and the headlights turn
08:27on, and then it switches off on its own, which startles them all. Meanwhile, IU encounters Sarin
08:33Ten for the first time, who explains that she only wants to protect her. Sarin Ten begins to exert
08:40control over IU, expressing a belief that they are destined to be together. She makes IU eat a flower,
08:46but IU spits it out. Rara hears IU wailing outside and alerts everyone, and they come out
08:52and try to calm IU down. They bring IU inside, but she growls and throws Gadoo and Reza away,
08:58and Sarin Ten tells them to let her stay with this child. She tells Gadoo that this child has
09:04accepted her, and tells Ah-Jung that her love and her love are the same thing. She reassures Rara
09:10that she doesn't need to be afraid, and encourages Reza to accept her. The lights turn on, revealing
09:15that IU is no longer there, and only then does Rara hear faint, slow, thumping sounds. The thumping
09:23grows louder, leading Rara to discover IU sitting atop a mirror. The next day, Gadoo and his team
09:29arrive at IU's house. Gadoo tells Jido that they are ready to help, and hopes their audience can
09:35assist in finding Abidin and aiding IU's recovery. IU, still possessed by Sarin Ten, comes out, and
09:42when Reza tries to introduce her to Gadoo and his team, she gives him a piercing look. She then
09:47sits down, and Gadoo also takes a seat in front of her. Sarin Ten starts singing the song, and
09:53after she finishes, Gadoo compliments her voice and introduces himself. Sarin Ten then introduces
09:59herself as being from Watu Kandang, and asks about the girl in Gadoo's team. He tells her it's Thea,
10:05her friend, and Sarin Ten suggests keeping a close eye on her, hinting that she may be
10:11troubled. She then tells him that she is leaving for now, and then IU collapses. Gido arranges
10:17for Gadoo and his team to stay in an old house in the village, whose owner is no longer there.
10:23Later, Ah-Jeong rushes out and informs Jido that IU is missing. They all search inside the house
10:28for her, and Rara tells them that she's going to pick up Gadoo and Jenta. She immediately reaches
10:34Gadoo and his team and informs them that IU is missing, and they set out to find her right away.
10:40Thea stops to tie her shoelaces, but when she looks up, she realizes Rara and the others have
10:45gone way ahead. The rest of the team also notices Thea is missing and starts searching for her,
10:51but after a while, they smell jasmine and stop. They then hear Thea's voice and head in that
10:56direction, but Thea encounters possessed IU and gets terrified seeing her. Gadoo and the others
11:03reach her, but by that time, IU has disappeared. Only then do they hear instruments playing and
11:08IU singing nearby. They approach her, trying to bring her to her senses, but IU collapses and
11:15begins growling. She then regains consciousness, and the others try to calm her down. Gadoo asks
11:21her and Rara what's over there, to which Rara replies, Watukendang, the place where IU got
11:27possessed. The next morning, they visit Watukendang, where they find Mr. Dai. Rara introduces him to
11:34Gadoo and Jenta, explaining that they are here to help IU. Mr. D tells them that Watukendang is
11:40sacred to their village, so they should keep their hearts and minds pure. On their way back, Gadoo
11:46asks Rara to take them to Mr. D's house, but Thea asks them to go ahead, as she needs to go back and
11:53grab the wide lens. Meanwhile, IU starts dancing again, and when her mother tries to stop her,
11:59IU pushes her away. Gido and Reza attempt to intervene, but IU attacks them as well before
12:05running out of the house. On the other hand, Thea reaches the house and the door opens automatically,
12:11and suddenly, the lights go off, plunging the house into darkness. Mr. D tells others that
12:17Watukendang is no ordinary stone. It is regarded as an ancestral relic in the spiritual realm.
12:24Gadoo asks, but how can they know for sure it's Watukendang? To which Mr. D says they must keep a
12:30clean heart and mind. Meanwhile, Thea encounters possessed IU in the house, and is terrified by
12:37what she sees. Sarenten tells her that she had warned her, and after the boy, now she is the
12:43one causing trouble. She asks her why she took the Watukendang and warns that it's now her turn.
12:49She ominously says that someone will come to pick her up. Just then, Garu and the others arrive,
12:55and find Thea sobbing in a corner. They try to calm her down and ask what happened, but she is
13:00too scared to say anything. Gadoo checks the camera and discovers that everything that happened with
13:05Thea has been recorded. Just then, Rara notices IU nearby and approaches her, but as she gets closer,
13:12IU suddenly collapses. Gadoo tells Thea that he is taking IU to her house, and Genta will stay with
13:19her there. However, Thea insists that she is fine and encourages them both to go and take care of IU.
13:26They bring IU to her house, but she becomes possessed again and mentions Thea's name.
13:32Meanwhile, Thea encounters possessed IU at Watukendang, who tells her that Watukendang
13:38is her place, where she was banished because the entire village hated her. However, Watukendang
13:44has become a source of strength for her, as its waters flow into the southern sea, granting her
13:50supernatural powers for vengeance. She tells her that soon this place will become her world,
13:55as she has opened a spirit realm. At that moment, multiple creatures growl around them,
14:01and Sarinten informs Thea that they are here to take her away. Thea tries to escape,
14:06and suddenly wakes up in her room, but finds Watulintang in her hand. Gadoo and Genta return
14:12home and find that Thea is okay. She reveals her dream about Sarinten, where Sarinten mentioned
14:18that a portal to the spirit realm had been opened. As she recounts this, a creature is seen lurking
14:24outside the house, and suddenly, Thea starts to feel unwell and runs to the bathroom. Meanwhile,
14:31Genta confronts Gadoo, asking what he is hiding from him, and during their conversation,
14:36the creature appears and attacks Thea. Gadoo and Genta rush in and find Thea unconscious.
14:42They bring her inside and lay her on the bed, and Gadoo suggests that something is wrong,
14:48noting that Ayu called out to Thea in her sleep. We see Thea's reflection in the mirror,
14:53and when Genta suggests they should return home, Gadoo insists they promised to help Ayu.
14:58Genta says this is beyond what they can handle, and insists he is going home, taking Thea with him.
15:05Gadoo agrees to go home, but suggests they first visit Ayu's house. They visit Ayu's house,
15:11where Mr. D tells them that Thea and Ayu are in danger. Ayu suddenly gets possessed by Sarinten
15:17and asks why he is there. Gadoo tries to talk to her, but Mr. D explains she is not talking to
15:23them. Ayu climbs onto the table, and the entity possessing her declares that where it goes
15:28is none of her business. Sarinten commands the entity to leave the people in the house alone,
15:34or she will crush its head. But the entity challenges her, saying she will be the one to
15:39die first. Mr. D asks the entity who it is, but it only laughs. Sari urgently tells them to prepare
15:46the Turango Yaxo ritual, and then Ayu faints. Gadoo asks Mr. D what Turango Yaxo is. He explains
15:54that with the spirit realm of Watu Kandang now open, spirits are roaming freely in the human
16:00realm. Thea ventured into the spirit realm, and the Turango Yaxo ritual is the only way to gather
16:07the escaped spirits and send them back to their realm. That night, they perform the Turango Yaxo
16:13ritual. Sarai possesses Ayu to help them, and begins singing through her. After some time,
16:20Thea also regains consciousness, and in a possessed state, starts dancing with the performers.
16:26After a while, Ayu finds herself in Watu Kandang's realm, where she hears the creatures growling and
16:32Thea's screams. Eventually, she finds Thea, but is shocked to see that she is possessed by the
16:38creature. Thea sees Ayu, but when she tries to approach her, the creature knocks her down and
16:43drags her away. Meanwhile, Ayu, Thea, and the other performers fall unconscious, and after a
16:50while, Ayu regains consciousness. Mr. D suggests they follow the path of the water and meditate
16:56along its course. They all dive into the water, but when they come out, Ayu is not with them. Ayu
17:03has gone to help Thea, and while she is trying to free her, the creature arrives. Meanwhile, Mr. D
17:09tells Ayu's parents that she has been gone for too long, and he fears he must unify her with
17:14Sorin-Ten. However, he needs them to accept this decision. Gido says that the most important thing
17:21for him now is to bring Ayu back, and Eizheng agrees, saying she will accept anything. Reza
17:27also says he will still see her in the same way. Mr. D then performs the ritual, and meanwhile,
17:33the creature attacks Thea. Ayu sees Sorin-Ten there and asks for her help to save her friend.
17:39Sorin-Ten begins to sing a song, and soon Ayu joins her and sings. After a while, Ayu hears Thea
17:46calling her, and Sorin-Ten disappears from the scene. After a while, Ayu returns to her realm,
17:52and soon after, Thea also wakes up screaming. In the next scene, we see that Thea is in a
17:58mental hospital, where a Biden is already admitted, and he is seen apologizing to someone.
18:04Four years later, the scene shifts to Ayu and Reza's wedding, and it is revealed that Sorin-Ten
18:10is still inside Ayu's body, and the movie ends here. Thanks for facing the frights with us.
