Horror Film History in Indonesia

FILM GHOST / mystic in INDONESIA
Horror movie is almost as old as film itself. Only one year of the demonstration projector in 1895 by Robert Paul in London, the Lumiere brothers in Paris, and Thomas Alva Edison in Atlanta, Georges Méliès evoke the ghosts from the grave and record it in Lc Manoir du Diable (1896). Since then people can see the ghosts without the need for supernatural powers.





ALTHOUGH known in Indonesia since the 1900's, it took 41 years for the people of this country to see their own ghosts on the screen, through the film alive Skull (1941). If the benchmark is the movie Lisa (1971) which is often referred to as Indonesia's first horror movie, the time required is 71 years old.



Benchmark that is debatable, but clearly both are built on a different subgenre of horror. Demonic Skull live displays a satanic horror or horror (the horror movie archetypes), the monster that rose from the grave and wanted revenge on the reincarnation of people who have been killed in a battle. Lisa explores a psychological horror, a stepmother is haunted by the figure fantasmatik stepson who had been destroyed but he is actually still alive and hiding somewhere.



In contrast with the Skull life, Lisa was not so successful in the market, but has made an important leap. The existence of fantasmatik figure which terrorized his stepmother intertextuality building game, which at that time had not even thought of dedengkot-dedengkot Western horror films, new and emerging in the era of the 90s through the film Heavenly Creatures (1994) New Zealand director Peter Jackson.



In the same year appeared in the film Birth Bury. The film also sell demons who rose from the grave for revenge on the brother who killed him to master the family's plantation, but surprisingly, also to frighten the population.


A psychological horror another, entitled Hunter Corpse, produced in 1972, is about corpse thieves who have necrophiliac (like to fuck the corpse) in a Hitchcock-style logic game that mocked method of deduction.



The emergence of sub-genre movie with such a film accompanied by Demonic horror, as if there will be a battle between two of this ethos. The title of that movie was Queen Snake (1972), mencerilakan scorang pretty rich widow Satanists. In subsequent years, we can see who the winner of the bout. Of the 20 titles of horror films produced during 1973-1979, all featuring the stories of horror Demonic mixed with the occult, sadism, sex, and comedy: Bloody Ring (1973) The body of Jealousy (1973) Si Comel (1973), The Sweet Bridge Ancol (1973), Dracula-in-law (1974), possessed by Satan (Shaman) (1974), Kuntilanak (1974), Curious Souls (1975), Residents BangunanTua, (1975), Satan's Grave (1975), Thinking Rich Quick (1975) , Commercial Dead in Campus (1977), the Goddess of Night (1978), Temptation Demon Woman (1978), Judgement Responsive to the Young Wives (1978), tuyul (1978), Curse Nyai Roro Kidul, (1979), Penangkal Teluh Science, (1979), tuyul Eee Found Again (1979), tuyul Women (1979).



The victory was probably driven by the global trend of horror films that time were oriented to Rosemary `s Baby (1968) Roman Polanski, low-budget films, but success in marketing and critics praised. Film conniption (Shaman) (1974) showed a strong keterpengaruhan, if not practically adapt, The Exorcist (1973), William Friedkin film, a follower of Polanski. The emergence of such heresy in Guna-Guna Vengeance Young Wife (1978), Ring of Blood (1973), Penangkal Teluh Science (1979), also showed traces Polanski. The entry of European gothic monster for the first time in Indonesian horror movies, like Dracula in Dracula-in-law (1974) was the result leads to films Italian filmmakers like Mario Bava, Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, or Spanish as lacinto Molina, Franco whirlwind in the 70s to bring back the ghosts of previous European traditional, in an 50-tilled by Hammer Films. Atavism of the Europeans were also inspired the rise of local supernatural creatures such as tuyul and Nyai Roro Kidul.


Horror Comedy


Surprises in the time given by the bodies of Jealousy (1973), who became the first moment the cultivation of horror comedy, not only at the national film scene, but also international. Unfortunately, history would record the Close Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980) Sammo Hung as the pioneers of this subgenre.



80-year is the golden years of Indonesian horror films. Noted 69 horror movie titles that in suguhkan to the audience - the highest production total horror genre today. Demonic or satanic horror, still a favorite. Of 69 titles is only one of which takes the form of psychological horror, namely the Old Wells Mystery (1987).



The rise of horror film production in those days was accompanied den * gan quality improvement. Queen of South Beach (1980) obtain LPKJ trophy in 1981 for Special Effects FFI; Acting Rina Hasyim in Genderuwo (1981) signed in 1981 to actors seeded FFI Maid Women; In the same year Queen FFI Black Science (1981) go even more superior in category, a major player Suzanna for Women, WD Mochtar for Maid Male actors, as well as editing, photography, and artistic.
