My review and article are now live ***
Joko Anwar’s hit horror film – 2019’s fifth highest-grossing release in his home country of Indonesia – had its international premiere at Sundance this January. It will now premiere on AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural in the US, Canada and the UK on July 23. (You can watch the trailer here.)
Described by Shudder as scary, visceral and darkly sinister, Impetigore is, says Anwar, “ my love letter to horror movies I grew up with, slashers, ghost stories, wrapped in a tragic family drama not unlike my family.”
His award-winning supernatural movie, Satan’s Slaves was released as a Shudder Original in 2018 and according to Shudder General Manager Craig Engler is “one of the most loved — and scariest — movies on Shudder“.
Impetigore stars Tara Basro (Satan’s Slaves), Marissa Anita, (HBO Asia’s Folklore: A Mother’s Love) Asmara Abigail (Satan’s Slaves), Ario Bayu (Dead Time), and Christine Hakim (Eat, Pray, Love), and is written and directed by Joko Anwar.
