KKN, Curse Of The Dancing Village

Six college students traveled to a remote village in order to fulfil their duty in Community Service Program. Nur, Widya, Ayu, Bima, Anton, and Wahyu had never thought that the village that they visited is a home to an entity crippling under the shadow.

Pak Prabu, the village head, had warned them not to cross the forbidden gate built in the middle of the forest. The mystical gate might hold the key to the awaiting mystery in the form of a traditional dancer, who soon starts to haunt the group.

Each one of them started to witness the strange occurrences. Their CSP had slowly turned into a mess, as it seems that the entity took disliking to the group. It all confirmed as Nur found out that one of them hadn’t abide to the village most important rule.

The terror turns spiralling worse, up to the point where the group asks for the help of the local cleric, Mbah Buyut. Though it all happened bit too late; and now they’re on the verge of ending their days, trapped in the cursed village.
