RINA DAN IBLIS (and the demons)

Rina dan Iblis is a chilling and emotionally charged family horror that unearths the complexities of faith, trauma, and power.

Fourteen-year-old Rina, a girl of mixed Indonesian and European descent, struggles to find her place in an interfaith household ruled by her oppressive Christian father and shadowed by the spirit of her recently deceased Muslim mother.

As Rina grapples with the suffocating tension at home, she discovers an inner strength that transcends the mortal realm.
Her late mother, once a source of comfort, now serves as both a guide and a catalyst for a darker transformation. As her father becomes increasingly consumed by the promises of a manipulative televangelist, their home becomes a battleground for control, faith, and survival.

In a harrowing climax, Rina's burgeoning supernatural abilities explode, forcing the family to confront the depths of their pain and the true nature of her power. Is she a victim reclaiming her voice or a vengeful force destined to destroy?

Blending visceral horror with a deeply human story of resilience, Rina dan Iblis offers a compelling exploration of abuse, spiritual conflict, and the fragile line between salvation and damnation.
