Meanwhile, the film Siksa Kubur follows the story of Sita and Adil. After her parents became victims of suicide bombings, Sita became distrustful of religion. Since then, Sita's only goal in life has been to find the most sinful person and when that person dies, Sita wants to go into his grave to prove that the Torture of the Grave does not exist and religion is not real.
However, of course there are dire consequences for those who do not believe. The film Siksa Kubur is not just an ordinary horror, because this film also presents a heart-touching story and will remind you of life after death.
Not only does it present tense horror scenes, visuals and auditory sensations, but it also presents spiritual drama that moves the heart. Siksa Kubur invites the audience to reflect on the meaning of life and death, as well as the consequences of human actions in the world.
The Siksa Kubur film is suitable for all audiences of any religion to enjoy. This film does not only focus on specific religious dogma, but rather on universal values about morality and the consequences of human actions.
This film can be the right material for reflection during the Eid al-Fitr moment, as well as inviting viewers to introspect themselves and reflect on what they have done so far. Joko Anwar also said that from the start he had agreed to always make the film for a universal audience.
"The film Siksa Kubur will be material for reflection for all viewers. Even though the characters and world are from an Islamic perspective, the story does not use preaching or certain verses. As a filmmaker, I speak according to my capacity. For Muslim audiences, the film Siksa Kubur can be used as a thought together, and this can be material for reflection for all religious believers," said Joko Anwar.
