‘Arwah Kuntilanak Duyung’! Sorry, I didn’t sneeze I merely uttered the title of new horror comedy offering direct from Indonesia. Roughly translated as ‘Demon Mermaid Spirit’ the new horror-com romp looks to be taking the sub-plot of Disney’s ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ into more humourous horror territoritory. And from the new trailer for the movie expected out on 8 December across Indonesia it seems all is not that straight forward. Half fish, half sexy Asian – this siren from the deep appears to invade the shore and send chills down the spines of all those who fear thy coconut-bra’d one. The flick stars Dewi Perssik, Saiful Jamil and Sule. The trailer below seems a bit shoddy and oddball and is has no subtitles so what’s actually going on is a mystery to us. This isn’t exactly aided well by the wonderfully peculiar and oddly translated plot details below. Enjoy.
“Linda, and Ardo met and fell in love on a beach. Ardo was so happy to have Linda, so building a beach villa for his beloved wife. The loving couples were then staying at Villa Linda, along with two servants who are equally silly and funny, Olga and Ayu. However, a foolish act soon brings terror to their door. Sule, a motorcycle is naive and silly throw away the blood and the placenta wife who just gave birth on the beach. And a Demon Mermaid emerged from the sea. Ardo and all occupants of the house are plagued by the onset of strange events and terrorized by the Mermaid.”
