Ridiculous, Hilarious Trailer For Indonesian Horror DENDAM DARI KUBURAN

Todd Brown, Founder and Editor

Is upcoming Indonesian horror film Dendam Dari Kurburan (Revenge From The Grave) also meant to be a comedy? I have no idea, frankly, but I certainly find the trailer amusing. Shot in a way that mimics the feel of late 80s / early 90s straight to video films - though I'm also not sure if this is intentional - you can gasp in horror as long haired ghosts do not very much at all! An old man forgets to close the door to the toilet! A muscle man dances poorly! Oh, yes! All this and so much more! Check out the trailer below!

The director is well known for making ridiculously cheap quality horror movie with elements comedy and sex. Not recommended and seeing this kind of movie featured in Twitch made me kinda shame for being an Indonesian...

Released on the same day here in Indonesia, is what looks like to be a sex/drug/rock-n-roll type of movie, the trailer is rather good and it's got almost 247thou youtube views! ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

Good DP on that one, for sure, and it's got the girl from the L segment in The ABCs Of Death!

kuburan is bahasa indonesia for Grave, so it's Revenge from the Grave *just my 2 cents*

You mean Google lied to me!?!

Martin Wagner

It looks like it wants to be an Asian "Scary Movie".

MarsHottentot

Agreed - way too much mugging to be straight horror.

Destroy All Monsters: Retire Superman

While the internet is tearing itself apart in its efforts to empirically determine whether Man of Steel "sucks" or "is awesome" - because such things are now apparently possible, given Superman Returns' near-unilateral, and intellectually disturbing, dismissal - I'd like to pause to make a gentler request: may we please...

Fifteen Unfilmable Novels And The Directors Who Should Try Anyway

Ah, the 'unfilmable' novel. Go back ten or fifteen years and it seems everyone had some sort of list of great novels that could never be brought to the screen. The limitations at the time were largely technical and in recent years those lists have dwindled with titles such as... More »

Jason Gorber's Cineruminations: On MAN OF STEEL, SuperJesus, and THIS IS THE END's Jewpocalypse

Back in 1933, while Hitler was ascending into power in Germany and diasporic Jews throughout the world looked on with concern, two high school students created one of the most indelible mythical heroes of the last century. Borrowing from the Nietzschean concept of the Übermensch, Joe Shuster and Jerry... More »

Twitchvision: Talking MAN OF STEEL and THIS IS THE END

This is the big week of Superman's return, with Zack Snyder's take on the caped saviour hitting our screens. While my opinion's kind of mixed on the film, there's still plenty to admire about it. I also discuss the overt Jesus imagery throughout, as expanded in a full cineruminations column... More »

70s Rewind: Bridges, Barbra, Bogdanovich, Brynner

Amazon's Prime Instant streaming service is not as well-established as Netflix and has far more modest offerings in off-beat and strange cinema. Still, since I temporarily dropped Netflix, I've been diving deeper into Amazon's catalog, and discovered a good number of films from my favorite movie decade. Here's a selection... More »
