Description

In this episode we review and discuss the Indonesian horror movie Primbon directed by Rudy Soedjarwo and starring Happy Salma, Nugie and Flavio Zaviera, based on the real Primbon book described as the book of life predictions. When a young woman unexpectedly returns home after going missing for seven days, her family casts doubts about her true nature.

We talk about our reaction to the first South East Asian horror movie we've reviewed, try to make sense of the mythology and symbolism in the portrayal of the ghost, wonder whether this movie would have been a better movie as a straight family drama, and much more.
