Set in the late 1970s and based on a famous radio play, Hanung Bramantyo’s Indonesian horror drama Trinil (originally titled Trinil: Kembalikan Tubuhku) starts off with a fair amount of promise. And therein lies the disappointment. A half-decent set-up involving tea plantation workers speculating about the mysterious disappearance of a certain Madam Ayu (Shalom Razade) is intriguing. After the demise of her husband, William (Willem Bevers), the Dutch owner of a vast tea estate, Ayu is nowhere to be seen. The most common rumour doing the rounds is that she has retreated to the Netherlands, her late partner’s home country. But that’s hardly interesting gossip, now, is it? Three workers debate as to whether or not she has been spotted skulking on the grounds and is, in fact, linked to the deaths of some of the factory workers. Up until this point, the film is not bad. But once the disembodied head, first as a shadow and then as a fully formed, otherworldly face, makes itself known, there are barely any redeeming qualities left. That it attempts to follow every cheap horror cliché known to man after that pushes it deeper into the grave from which Miss Ayu emerged. The reveal isn’t held back in any sort of manner, and that is what sinks the film. Trinil, in that regard, joins most mediocre, scary films of the day. Neither are they subtle nor are they powerful, and that boils down to poor writing and even poorer reliance on jump scares. The standard genre tropes are followed to the tee, and might I add, blindly too. Levitation, possession, witch doctors/demonologists, deep-seated childhood trauma, guilt, it’s all there - like one big, hastily-made, inedible porridge. And by the time the psychological damage is revealed (linking all the goings-on), it is too late to regain your respect or attention. While predictable, it does make sense in the larger scheme of the narrative.
