Set in Indonesia’s most dangerous prison, with one wing populated by violent criminals and an oppressive security team that is led by a tyrannical warden and another wing that houses politicians and white collar criminals who can do as they please. When an invisible presence starts to brutally murder the occupants and turn them into morbid works of art, rival gangs and outcasts are forced to work together and overcome their differences to decipher the entity's origins and wage war against the demon.
An intense and unpredictable genre mash up featuring top notch martial arts sequences, spontaneous dance battles and extreme gore that masterfully blends horror, social commentary and pitch-black comedy. Instead of just flirting with extremes, Ghost in the Cell dives headfirst, making it one of the wildest film experiences of 2026. Indonesian director, Joko Anwar, ingeniously weaves biting political satire into his genre blend, using narrative film as a vehicle to critique capitalist corruption and taking the audience with him on a journey into the darkness that is an unsettling but hilarious reflection of modern society.
