Short filmTranscript
00:00And action!
00:07I have protected my family.
00:21After 17 years of The Beat, Jangan Pedang Belakang 1, until now, we feel that The Beat,
00:47Jangan Pedang Belakang 2 is a responsibility and a burden to make this film more interesting,
00:57more scary.
00:59We feel that we have to bring something different in the story of this script.
01:05The first film, Jangan Pedang Belakang, is a film that is very far away.
01:1017 years ago and now.
01:12So, to differentiate these two films, I think it's very difficult.
01:17And it can be done in many ways.
01:21But as a filmmaker, as a director, I have to move forward.
01:26I have to look ahead, not look back.
01:30So, to create a more scary and high-quality JPB 2 film, I have to know techniques that are not outdated.
01:40Not that I want to say that JPB 1 is a good film.
01:43But the problem is, if we bring what was formed in the past to the present, I'm afraid it will be a film that is outdated.
01:53So, I have to prepare in terms of mental and physical, how I want to direct this JPB 2 film.
02:00At least, it has a better level than the first one.
02:04Why are we late? After 17 years, we want to make Jangan Pedang Belakang?
02:09Because it's difficult for us to be a director who wants to direct a film.
02:14Like what Finas said, this film is a legend.
02:19This film is a phenomenon.
02:22This film is a cultural heritage of art that we have to reach a higher level.
02:32I know a lot of good Indonesian films, like Pak Abdi Setan, KKN.
02:39I also took a lot of guides from those films.
02:42Although not all, but there are qualities that I took from their films and I tried to apply it in Jangan Pedang Belakang.
02:52So, finally, we have a director's room and we have a director who has been directing for 8 years.
02:59He is P N Re.
03:03My confidence as a director to succeed in this film, I do not deny that it is a big responsibility for me as a film director.
03:12We all know that Jangan Pedang Belakang is a very phenomenal film at one point in time.
03:19When the first Jangan Pedang Belakang came out, it was a great success.
03:23So, when the second film came out, it was a bit difficult for me to succeed in this film.
03:32Because we want something better than the first one.
03:36That's what I think.
03:38I want it to be a better film than the first one.
03:41So, how do I get that confidence?
03:44It is based on my previous experiences.
03:49I have made a lot of horror films before this.
03:53These experiences taught me to be a more mature film director.
03:57Especially in the genre of horror films.
03:59This time, I feel that I got a lot of support.
04:03Not only from my family, my wife, my parents.
04:09In fact, from a lot of people who have been waiting for this Jangan Pedang Belakang film.
04:13So, I gather that confidence to try to make the film as good as possible, God willing.
04:20So, that's why choosing P. Henry is the most suitable.
04:23Because he is the one who wrote the script in part one.
04:28And thank God for me and him, no one else.
04:31Only he can direct this film.
04:34Because this is a glimpse of what reality will reveal.
04:48Mak Lang's dementia is getting worse.
04:50Mak Lang has lost his mental function.
04:52I want to follow him.
04:53There's no one.
04:55I want to follow him.
04:56My mother's eyes can see other things.
04:58You can't see it.
05:01This is a combination recipe.
05:04A suitable director who has written the script of Jangan Pedang Belakang 1.
05:09And also an artist who can bring the character.
05:13Hi, I'm Idil Zuri Alauddin.
05:15And in the film Jangan Pedang Belakang 2, I play the role of Dr. Azim.
05:30The difference between Jangan Pedang Belakang 2 and Jangan Pedang Belakang 1...
05:34...is that it's a new breath.
05:36It's fresher.
05:37It's more current in terms of the story.
05:40In terms of the way we make this film.
05:44And there are also new characters in this film.
05:47Like Dr. Azim himself.
05:49If we look at the recurring characters...
05:52...or the characters that appeared in Jangan Pedang Belakang 1...
05:56...we have Mak Lang, Opah...
05:59...and Lin, played by Emma Maimbo.
06:02Hi, assalamualaikum. I'm Emma Maimbo.
06:04I play the role of Lin in Jangan Pedang Belakang 2.
06:16I play Lin as a lawyer.
06:20She's Mak Lang's daughter.
06:22Jangan Pedang Belakang is related to Saka.
06:26So, Lin's story is between Santau and Saka.
06:31She was hit by two things at the same time.
06:33So, that's where her struggle is.
06:37If you don't know who Lin is, she's a relative of Dharma.
06:41I play the role of Dr. Azim.
06:44Dr. Azim is a very caring and responsible person.
06:51Dr. Azim is a geriatric surgeon...
06:55...at Kasih Permata Orang Tua Hospital.
06:58He plays the role of Mak Lang.
07:00Mak Lang has lived here for a long time.
07:03Dr. Azim has been through a lot.
07:07Dr. Azim lives on the basis of logic and science.
07:13When Lin told her about the mystic world...
07:18...that was happening to Mak Lang and her family...
07:21...at first, Dr. Azim didn't accept it.
07:23But after a while, a strange thing happened to Dr. Azim's character...
07:28...that made him wonder if the mystic world really exists.
07:33It's hard for me to shoot all the scenes.
07:35I've never shot every scene.
07:37Even though the scenes are small.
07:39But if we want to talk about the technical setup...
07:43...there are a few scenes that involve rigging.
07:46It takes a long time.
07:47And there are scenes where the camera needs a 360 degree movement.
07:50When we use a 360 degree movement technique...
07:53...the lights have to be placed where the camera can't see them.
07:59How can we hide the lights?
08:02360 degrees will be visible.
08:04So they need to place the lights above the trees.
08:07The camera needs to be placed far away to avoid the lights.
08:11So the setup takes a long time.
08:13In a horror film, there are scenes where the characters are rigged.
08:19That's challenging for me.
08:22How can I change my look and movement...
08:27...from a normal person to a person who has been rigged?
08:32That will change the way I talk and my movement.
08:37That's what I like the most.
08:40In this film, we see Dr. Azim's journey in a normal way.
08:45In the beginning, he's caring.
08:47Then he asks questions.
08:49So there's a conflict within Dr. Azim himself.
08:53That's something I have to go through.
08:57Alhamdulillah, we solved a lot of problems before we went on set.
09:01I had a discussion with P.A. Andre as the director.
09:05We discussed all the characters in this film.
09:08The most challenging scene for me...
09:11...was when Lin was rigged.
09:15She was rigged and exorcised on the floor.
09:21That was challenging for me.
09:23I didn't know how to do it.
09:26It looked scary.
09:28So I tried to do it in different ways.
09:31I didn't want to do it like this.
09:34So I tried to do it from the back.
09:37I tried to bend my body...
09:41...until the veins were swollen.
09:44That's how I did it.
09:47I didn't feel comfortable.
09:50There were rocks on the floor.
09:52My head was hit by the rocks.
09:54I didn't know what to do.
09:57The director said I was rigged.
09:59That was challenging for me.
10:02I didn't know how to do it.
10:05It looked scary.
10:07So I tried to bend my body.
10:10There are a lot of techniques to create a scary scene.
10:16I think it's hard to do.
10:19I mean, you can do it...
10:21...but it's hard to make people scared to watch it.
10:25I believe a lot of people can do it.
10:27But the result is what we have to wait for.
10:46Enter hell.
10:51Hi, I'm Mawar Rashid.
10:53I play the role of Nurse Mona.
10:56The most challenging experience for me was...
11:01...Nurse Mona was shocked.
11:04It was the first time she saw a ghost.
11:07It was right in front of her eyes.
11:09It was so scary.
11:11When we saw the ghost in real life...
11:13...we were shocked.
11:18That was the reaction from Abang Pierre, our director.
11:23He asked me to do it.
11:25So, I did it.
11:27I was about to fall.
11:30When I fell, my hands were shaking.
11:34It was so painful.
11:36I couldn't move my hands.
11:38We had to stop filming for a while.
11:41We had to put ice on our hands.
11:43It was so painful.
11:48Hi, I'm Khatijah Tan.
11:51I play the role of Mak Lang...
11:54...in Jangan Pandang Belakang 2.
11:57Take care of me.
12:07You're so weak.
12:18Mak Lang is a continuation of Mak Lang...
12:24...in Jangan Pandang Belakang 1.
12:26But in Jangan Pandang Belakang 2...
12:29...she shows who Mak Lang really is.
12:33What happened to her.
12:36In Jangan Pandang Belakang 1...
12:39...she's very plain.
12:41She lives in the village and takes care of her mother.
12:44But in Jangan Pandang Belakang 2...
12:47...she's more challenging.
12:48I think it's hard to do.
12:52Mak Lang is more challenging.
12:58Hi, assalamualaikum.
13:00My name is Alif Hadi.
13:02I play the role of Hafiz in Jangan Pandang Belakang 2.
13:06Why did I take on this role?
13:08To challenge myself.
13:10To play a role that I've never played before.
13:16To play the role of a teacher or a scholar...
13:20...who solves mystic cases.
13:22To challenge myself.
13:25To memorize the holy verses.
13:27And to diversify the roles that I've never played before.
13:33A lot of people don't dare to do it.
13:35Because it's very technical.
13:36With the holy verses and how to solve it.
13:39I think that's why I took on this role.
13:42This is my first time working with MIG.
13:46So I want to know how it's like to work with MIG.
13:51The most challenging part is...
13:53...the scene where she's being tortured at her grandmother's house.
13:57That's the hardest part.
13:59Because the scene is quite long.
14:01And the torture is very different from other torture films.
14:06Because the torture requires a strong emotion.
14:10You have to play with a lot of scary emotions.
14:14To memorize the holy verses...
14:16...there are a few long verses.
14:18For example, Al-Baqarah, Al-Isra and Al-Mecah.
14:22So it took me a long time to memorize them.
14:27I had to make sure that the title is correct.
14:29I wanted to deliver the character correctly.
14:33I didn't just memorize it and act it out.
14:36I wanted to memorize it at the same time.
14:39I was actually torturing someone.
14:41That was one of the challenges.
14:42Hi, I'm Melissa Aurelia.
14:44I play the role of Nurse Mel in Jangan Pandang Belakang 2.
14:49I play a nurse.
14:52A nurse who takes care of the elderly in Kasih Pemata.
14:56And I'm one of them.
14:58Hi, I'm Kenarina from MIG Artis.
15:01I play the role of Ida in this film.
15:04Ida's character is different from other nurses.
15:10For example, Mona.
15:12Mona is closer to the elderly.
15:14But Ida is not.
15:16She's just a worker.
15:18It's a big and difficult challenge.
15:21Maybe because of the timing.
15:23We had to shoot at 4 a.m.
15:25And we had to shoot in a scary place.
15:28The most challenging scene was...
15:31...when Ida was in the middle of the elderly's house.
15:36She was surrounded by the elderly who were smoking.
15:39That was the most challenging scene for me.
15:42Every film has its own challenges.
15:45We don't know what's around us.
15:48I remember one scene we shot in a wetland.
15:52At a village house.
15:53There was a scene where the elderly was praying.
15:57And she was disturbed by the presence of an angel.
16:00And when she was acting...
16:02...I could hear her voice in the background.
16:07It sounded like a woman was moaning.
16:12I cut the scene and went to the audio man.
16:15I asked him if he wanted to do it again.
16:17Because of the audio.
16:19He said the audio was clean.
16:22And the sound was perfect.
16:24I was surprised.
16:25How can the audio be clean...
16:27...when I heard a woman's voice in the background?
16:32We had to mess up the set.
16:35Because we had to shoot at 5 p.m.
16:40Until the sun rose at 7 a.m.
16:43That's when we had to shoot.
16:45We didn't have a day off.
16:47We had to work at night.
16:49When we got to a place like this...
16:53...we had to say goodbye.
16:56I had a scary experience.
16:59It happened two days ago.
17:01I was in the car waiting for the scene.
17:03I was playing with my iPad.
17:05I was alone.
17:07It was quiet.
17:08But I heard a sound in the background.
17:10I heard a crackling sound.
17:13It was quiet.
17:15Then I heard a crackling sound.
17:18The engine was dead.
17:19I didn't expect to hear a sound.
17:22But I didn't.
17:24I pretended to know.
17:25Maybe it was moving.
17:27I pretended to know.
17:29So, I pushed it.
17:31I pushed the chair.
17:34I'm not the type of person...
17:36...who doesn't get scared.
17:38But...
17:40...I was tired at the time.
17:43I didn't feel anything.
17:44So, I pushed the chair.
17:46Don't bother me.
17:48I continued to play with my iPad.
17:50I pushed the chair.
17:52Don't bother me.
17:56I was playing with my iPad.
17:58Five minutes later, they called me to the set.
18:00One time, I was praying.
18:02Before I could pray, I heard a sound.
18:05It was very scary.
18:08I felt like I was in a different place.
18:11I had to hit my head.
18:14I had to hit my head...
18:16...while I was waiting for the shoot.
18:19I got up and sat outside with my friends.
18:24Thank God, I got to work with great actors in this set.
18:28We have great actors.
18:30We have Kati Jatan.
18:31We have Idy Kutra.
18:33We have Emma Makbong, Mawar Rashid.
18:35There aren't many actors.
18:37But each actor has their own character...
18:40...to play the roles.
18:43I've known Pierre Andre for a long time...
18:46...and now he's back as a director.
18:51That's one of the reasons...
18:54...why I wanted to get involved in Jangan Pandang Belakang.
18:58He's a very easy-going person.
19:01At the same time, he always gets his knowledge at the last minute.
19:04But for me, as an actor, it's easy.
19:07I don't have to do the shoot a million times...
19:10...because he knows what he wants.
19:11Working with Pierre, I'm so surprised by his character.
19:16He's such a very humble person.
19:19He's a very easy-going person.
19:24He's very...
19:25He's very open-minded.
19:27He's very clear when it comes to changing information...
19:30...to make sure the scenes are done well.
19:34He's quiet, but he's firm.
19:37He makes the decision to shoot...
19:39...and plot the story.
19:41He's very confident in what he does.
19:44He takes good care of all the actors and actresses.
19:49All the other actors and actresses...
19:51...work together on the set.
19:53Mak Lang is one of them.
19:57I'm very proud...
20:00...because I get to work with actors...
20:04...that I've never worked with before.
20:08Like Ayman Mahambong, Mawar Rashid, Alif Hadi.
20:12I've only worked with Idil.
20:15I worked with Idil Putra.
20:17Everyone knows that she's a great actor.
20:20It's obvious.
20:21She's a flying watch.
20:23She has a lot of experience.
20:25She inspires me to be a better actor...
20:30...and a more dedicated actor.
20:32I don't deny that she's a great actress.
20:38I don't want to bias her...
20:40...but she has a lot of talent.
20:43She gives 100%.
20:46Sometimes, it's not 100%.
20:48She gives 200% of her talent.
20:53I'm very grateful...
20:55...because working with her...
20:57...makes me feel at ease as a director.
21:00I'll never forget that.
21:03Besides that, when I work with her director...
21:07...Pierre-André.
21:08I've worked with him a few times.
21:12I'm very satisfied...
21:14...because he's a director who knows what he wants.
21:18For me, horror movies...
21:21...are very close to my heart.
21:24It's easy for me to do what I'm directed to do.
21:27Besides us, we have the same taste.
21:34I'm very satisfied with everything.
21:37As a film director...
21:39...and one of the original creators of Jangan Bandar Belakang...
21:44...I hope this movie will be a big hit.
21:48I hope that this time...
21:50...we'll be more responsible...
21:54...and make sure that it's a horror movie...
21:56...that is well-received...
22:00...in Asia.
22:02Just like Jangan Bandar Belakang...
22:06...I hope this movie will be a big hit.
22:11As a director, I want this movie to be a big hit.
22:1620, 30, 40 million.
22:18If it's well-received, that's my biggest hope.
22:22Why do you all have to watch Jangan Bandar Belakang 2?
22:26Nostalgia.
22:27Horror.
22:28It's like this.
22:29Very wow.
22:30Mysterious.
22:31It's really scary.
22:32The jump scare is no joke.
22:34As you know about Jangan Bandar Belakang 1...
22:37...there's a lot of...
22:38...fear.
22:39There's a lot of ghosts.
22:41Not one, but a lot.
22:43It's very relatable to real life.
22:46If you watch the movie, you'll feel the horror.
22:50If you want to know what happens in Jangan Bandar Belakang 1...
22:55...you'll find out in Jangan Bandar Belakang 2.
