Kuntilanak is an Indonesian Horror Movie directed by Rizal Mantovani, and written by Alim Sudio. It's a remake of Rizal Mantonavi's 2006 film of the same name.
Aunt Donna (Nena Rosier) has decided to go to California for a trip to visit a friend's relatives, and has left her six adoptive children, Dinda (Sandrinna M. Skornicki), Ambar (Ciara Nadine Brosman), Kresna (Andryan Bima), Miko (Ali Fikry), Panji (Adlu Fahrezi), and Lydia (Aurelie Moeremans) in the care of Lydia, the oldest of them. While she's out, Lydia has tasked her boyfriend Glenn (Fero Walandouw) with finding a new mirror for Donna to replace the cracked one she currently has in her room.
Glenn is the host of a ghost hunting show, and his latest episode has him investigating a house where a young boy named Anjas (Naufal Ho) was supposedly captured by an evil spirit called a "Kuntilanak". While filming, he discovers a mirror among the objects discarded by Anjas' father (Aqi Singgih) and decides it would make the perfect replacement. So, he decides to bring it back to Donna's house.
However, soon after it's brought in, the kids start hearing voices calling out to them, and seeing some pretty freaky things. Could Glenn have accidentally brought the Kuntilanak into their home?
The movie was released on June 15th, 2018.
