The film Curse of the Coffin is the first film from PT. Balai Pustaka, which will be released in 2023. Investigate, this film is based on a mystery story that happened on Onrust Island.
“The Curse of the Coffin film originates from a mystery story on Onrust Island where movie fans will certainly be very interested in seeing it because there is so much history since the arrival of the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie) in the country. This film is very interesting, the story has history, there is mystery, there is also horror and this is the complete package,” said Achmad Fachrodji as the Main Director of PT. Balai Pustaka, quoted by Intipseleb on Monday, 17 July 2023.
Apart from that, the film Curse of the Coffins does not only tell about the interest of two archaeologist students who are trying to unravel the mystery of Onrust Island. However, there is the figure of a plague doctor whose story is already legendary in the world, such as a plague doctor in France who was there, and in the Netherlands, so he has gone global.
