The Magic Amethyst

The Magic Amethyst centers on Kadrun and his wife, who are cursed after their failed attempt to steal a magic amethyst.

The film’s narrative unfolds as the villagers, tormented by the couple, rally against them under the guidance of a religious teacher who has inherited the magic amethyst.

With its horror genre appeal, The Magic Amethyst offers a glimpse into Indonesian cinema of the late 1980s. The film features a cast including Johan Saimima, Yurike Prastika, and Zaitun Sulaiman.
