The Indonesian horror film Jabang Mayit will be released on March 6, 2025. The movie is about a horrific ritual involving black magic practices and a mysteriously missing baby. 'Jabang Mayit' stars Salvita Decorte, Cornelio Sunny and Karina Salim. The movie depicts a supernatural being who likes to take babies and disturb pregnant women. This figure is also often a terrible specter in Indonesian society. The story begins in a village surrounded by terrible myths and legends.

Hujan (Salvita Decorte) experiences a mystical event that she will never forget. Her baby suddenly and mysteriously disappears without a trace, leaving her in deep despair. There are no signs of human abduction, no footprints, only eerie silence.

As the sense of loss and fear haunts her, Bayu (Cornelio Sunny), a man who also senses strangeness in the village, offers to help. He takes Hujan to see an old shaman who is known to have a knack for supernatural events.

The old shaman then revealed something more horrifying than Hujan could have imagined: her baby had been taken by a supernatural being called Hantu Jabang Mayit. This creature was no ordinary curious spirit. It was the result of a black magic ritual that had been performed since ancient times. The rituals are designed to summon evil spirits that target mothers who are not ready to become mothers or who have a weak inner connection with their children.

These ghosts would come in the stillness of the night, steal their babies, and take them to another realm for a ritual. However, something has changed. The ghost of Jabang Mayit could no longer be controlled. The creature became increasingly savage. Not only did it target the babies of weak mothers, but it also hunted down every little child in the village.

Mysterious Disappearance of Babies

One by one, the babies began to disappear without a trace, leaving the mothers in deep fear and despair. Hujan and Bayu realized that they couldn't stay silent. They must find a way to recapture the mysterious creature before more victims fall.

However, their journey to uncover this secret becomes even more difficult when they find out that the shaman they have been trusting is keeping a dark secret about the Ghost of Jabang Mayit. Something is undisclosed, something to do with the true origin of the creature and the reason this ritual is performed repeatedly in the village.

Can Hujan and Bayu stop the terror of the monstrous creature called 'Jabang Mayit' before it's too late? Can they also reveal the secret that the old shaman has been hiding?

The horror movie 'Jabang Mayit' presents a suspenseful horror storyline that combines mystical elements, black magic rituals, and a mother's struggle to face supernatural forces that want to take away her baby. With a gripping atmosphere and a plot filled with surprises, this movie directed by Ismail Basbet will bring the audience into a terror that disturbs the soul.
