SUZZANNA – THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC
Mohon maaf, sekadar berbagi kabar gembira:
SUZZANNA – THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC
Alhamdulillah, film dokumenter “SUZZANNA – THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC” (David Gregory, 2024, Severin Films), yang saya turut produseri, sudah selesai produksinya!
She starred in 42 classic movies, was hailed as ‘The Queen of Indonesian Horror’ and crowned ‘Asia’s Most Popular Actress’. But who was Suzzanna Martha Frederika van Osch, long-beloved by the Asian world as Suzzanna yet virtually unknown outside it? In this fascinating new documentary by David Gregory, whose previous explorations of transgressive cinema include LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY’S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON and ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE, discover the enigmatic horror star best known for portraying vengeful spirits from Indonesian folklore, demons whose supernatural retribution are widely believed to have influenced her controversial life and mysterious death. Through exclusive interviews with family, colleagues, filmmakers, and historians, as well as clips from her classic films including SUNDEL BOLONG (1981), NYI BLORONG (1982), MALAM SATU SURO (1988) and more, Gregory unearths the legacy of the Indonesian Scream Queen who has begun to emerge as one of the most compelling icons in cinema history.
“When we talk about the world of horror movies, we think of Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi. But there is another that I think surpasses every one of them. And her name is Suzzanna.”
Joko Anwar, Award-Winning Writer/Director of THE FORBIDDEN DOOR, SATAN’S SLAVES and JOKO ANWAR’S NIGHTMARES AND DAYDREAMS
“In Indonesia, Suzzanna is horror and horror is Suzzanna. It’s about time she's globally known, and this is the documentary she deserves.”
Ekky Imanjaya, Co-Producer
David Gregory, Producer/Director
Coming Soon!
Tunggu Tanggal Mainnya!
