The story focuses on Sita (played by Faradina Mufti) and Adil (played by Reza Rahadian), a pair of siblings who return to escape from Islamic boarding school after losing their parents who died in a suicide bombing. They both have to face the bitter reality of their parents' death and the inheritance they left behind.

Upon arriving at their parents' house, Sita and Adil felt a strange and tense atmosphere. Although they live normally as nurses in a nursing home and funeral washers, in fact, Sita and Adi's life is not smooth. Carrying a grudge over the death of their parents, Sita and Adil must experience a life that is never peaceful.

Although the bodies are in the pesantren environment, this pair of siblings are far from God. They even question God's destiny, to the point of not believing in the torment of the grave for those who deny God's commands.

With an interesting plot and deep characters, "Siksa Kubur" is one of the most anticipated horror films. Joko Anwar once again shows his skill in creating captivating and thought-provoking stories, making this film a must-watch.
