taken from : 24framespersecond (22nd October, 2007)Another retelling of Indonesian horror tale 'Suster N'
It seems that the Indonesian public have a fascination with the folk tale of ‘Suster Ngesot’ - one of their more gruesome urban legends, as a second film version of the grisly story is on the way. Reading the tale of her (see our article May 5th) plight, you can see why it makes fine fodder for a horror pic. Directed by newcomer Viva Westi, the new version entitled 'Suster N' takes elements of the legend, and adds in a few extra twists.
Synopsis: "Set in West Java, ‘Suster N’ tells story about an elderly house called Villa Rose. The house named after its owner, Rose (Dominique Sanda). After years Rose’s taking care of the elderly house, she wants to give the house to her granddaughter, Sarah (Atiqah Hasiholan). Sarah is so excited about the house, she moves back to Indonesia from Holland with her husband Jonathan (Bob Seven). But this elderly house has a secret from the past. The house is haunted by a spirit of death nurse called Suster N..”
This being an Indonesian horror, there will most likely be the obligatory love story thrown in as a sub plot. But from looking at the trailer the production values seem pretty good, as do the effects. And the leading lady performs (and screams!) with gusto. ‘Suster N’ opens October 25th.
