In the mystic east, they like their films up front and gory. This Indonesian creature feature will leave western viewers stunned with its audacious plot and outrageous shock scenes.
A young American woman on holiday in Bali becomes fascinated by tales of the local black magic cult known as the Leyak. She seeks out a Leyak witch and attempts to learn her secrets.
Needless to say, it all goes horribly wrong...
