The beginning of 2026 was an exciting time for Indonesian horror film fans. Several Indonesian filmmakers presented new works that didn't rely solely on jump scares but also adapted local stories with a fresh approach. One title that caught the attention was Penunggu Rumah: Buto Ijo, a horror film inspired by the Timun Mas folk legend, with a modern twist and a dark, oppressive atmosphere. Depicting the figure of Buto Ijo, a familiar figure from childhood fairy tales, this film seeks to break that classic image. Rather than simply being a monster from a bedtime story, Buto Ijo is presented as a more realistic, mysterious, and meaningful symbol of terror. It's no wonder that from the moment its first trailer was released, the film immediately piqued audiences' curiosity.

Netflix has launched another new film in the psychological thriller genre, Wall to Wall. The film, which is scheduled to air on July 18, will feature talented Korean actors and actresses such as Kang Ha Neul, Yeom Hye Ran, and Seo Hyeon Woo.
Quoted from What on Netflix, Wall to Wall will tell the story of a young man who managed to buy an apartment with his hard work. However, this happiness turns into something scary when he often hears mysterious sounds coming from the unit above him.
The film Wall to Wall is the second thriller film from director Kim Tae Joon who also successfully released the film Unlocked in 2023.
Synopsis of the Film Wall to Wall
Wall to Wall is a Korean thriller film that tells the story of Woo Seong (played by Kang Ha Neul), a single man in his thirties who finally managed to buy his dream apartment of 84 square meters. In Korea, buying an apartment is a symbol of life achievement in a dense city.
To get his dream apartment, Woo Seong has spent all his financial resources, including stock investments, savings, and his mother's garlic garden. However, his happiness in having an apartment is only temporary. After moving in, he begins to be disturbed by strange sounds from inside the walls and ceiling, which slowly disturb his peace and sanity. The sounds trigger tension with the neighbors and make Woo Seong feel alienated in a place that should be his safe home.
In his efforts to find out the origin of the disturbance, Woo Seong gets involved with Jin Ho (played by Seo Hyun Woo), a neighbor from the upper floor who seems close but turns out to have many secrets. They are also helped by Eun Hwa (played by Yeom Hye Ran), a middle-aged woman who serves as the head of the apartment residents and tries to maintain the harmony of the environment.
Will these three gangs succeed in uncovering what happened in the apartment they live in?
This film not only offers tension but also raises social issues that are relevant to today's urban life. Wall to Wall is a reflection of social isolation and the pressures of living in a big city, especially in a narrow space like an apartment.
