‘Melati: Revenge in Blood’ – First Image from ‘Orang Ikan’ Director’s Indonesian Horror Movie

Fresh off Creature from the Black Lagoon-inspired creature feature Orang Ikan being acquired by Shudder, Indonesian filmmaker Mike Wiluan is back with a first look at his next movie.

It’s titled Melati: Revenge in Blood, and Deadline shares the first look this morning while also revealing that SC Films International has boarded worldwide sales rights on the film.

Deadline details, “Melati: Revenge in Blood follows Fadil, the sole escapee of a haunted house. Fadil discovers that he has been cursed by Melati, who harnesses the inn’s dark curse, and in return gains eternal life and the power of resurrection. In a quest for vengeance, Fadil assembles a squad of killers to hunt down those responsible for his torment.

“However, as Fadil learns more about the inn’s resurrective powers, he is consumed by his desire to bring back his wife and consequently, a violent battle ensues.”

Alexandra Gottardo (Losmen Melati) and Dwi Sasono (Mendadak Dangdut) star in Melati: Revenge in Blood, which is based on 2023 TV mini-series Losmen Melati.

“Melati is an Indonesian horror icon with strong local folklore roots,” said Wiluan. “Told through a bold and stylised form of Asian action horror, I’m excited to showcase a story that further expands the universe of Losmen Melati. I’m eager for International audiences to continue the trials and tribulations of its central female character.”
