Here’s a look at an upcoming horror movie coming to Shudder very soon. The Queen Of Black Magic is a chilling retelling of the cult classic Indonesian horror written by award-winning filmmaker Joko Anwar. It is directed by Kimo Stamboel (Headshot).
A family travels to the distant, rural orphanage where the father was raised to pay their respects to the facility’s gravely ill director. But his and his best friends’ homecoming turns into a terrifying supernatural ordeal that threatens their and their families’ lives: someone is using dark magic to avenge evil deeds, long-buried but not forgotten. Stamboel’s film is a reimagining of the 1981 Indonesian horror classic of the same name.
The film marks the sophomore solo feature for Kimo Stamboel following his 2019 celebrated video game adaptation film Dreadout, and follows his collaborated work with director Timo Tjahjanto — together known as the directing duo The Mo Brothers, and their breakout hits Macabre and Killers. Drawn from a script penned by Joko Anwar, whose own most recent feature, the 2019 Sundance selection Impetigore, has been named Indonesia’s entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 93rd Academy Awards.
The movie will arrive on Shudder on 28th January in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand
(and via the Shudder offering within the AMC+ bundle where available). Check out the trailer below.
