The more I read memos and ghostpedia entries, the more excited I was to watch the story come together. It has a great, spooky setting and very memorable ghosts.
DreadOut has great atmosphere, the kind where even when I knew something was coming, I still jumped.
But I hope this film can satisfy even diehard DreadOut fans," Kimo said.I had low expectations going in-I anticipated a cheap Fatal Frame ripoff-but I quickly got my hopes up. They'll pick over the tiniest flaws, even in "Tomb Raider" or "Resident Evil." They fairly roasted them. There's rarely any good game adaptations, if you ask them. Hopefully, gamers won’t criticize it too harshly. Kimo said the film will be a fun treat both for fans of the game and non-gamers who have never played it, though the former will be harder to please. "At first we even thought of going for 13+, but that would have required too many cuts, so we settled for 17+," he said.

Kimo said he eventually wants to create a DreadOut universe and more movies and TV or web series, so it was necessary to create new characters and to establish Linda’s backstory.Īpart from finding out a way to bring a believable experience of the game to the big screen, another tough challenge for Kimo when making DreadOut was toning down the scariness and bloodiness to get a 17+ rating.Īll Kimo's other movies were rated 21+ by the Film Censorship Board (LSF). The rest of the film stayed faithful to the original story, featuring all types of ghosts that appeared in the game, and even going so far as keeping its elements of Sundanese culture. Gamers may wonder who the other four students – apart from the OG Linda and her best friend Ira – are, since they never appeared in the game. "I asked the producers if we could deviate a little from the game, mainly because the game is so much bigger in scale," he said. The film adaptation came with a few adjustments because Kimo intended it to be a prequel to the story line in the game. While scouring the apartment, one of the students, Linda (Caitlin Halderman) accidentally reads a mantra on a discarded paper that opens a portal to a mystical realm.Īs the ghosts in the apartment awaken, all hell breaks loose. Wida said international distribution for the film – mostly in Asia Pacific – is being negotiated at the moment.ĭreadOut the film tells the story of six high-school students who visit an abandoned apartment to shoot some live videos that they think will gain them more social media followers. Overall, DreadOut took four years to make and needed a budget of about Rp 10 billion ($690,000), mostly spent on its admittedly stunning visual effects. This made us certain that DreadOut could be a box office hit here, too," Wida said. Hollywood already has had a lot of success with this genre here. "In Indonesia, there hasn’t been anything like this, we want to be a pioneer in this field. Wida said her company jumped at the opportunity to produce this film because she "wanted to make a breakthrough by merging the game and film industries. They pitched the idea to local production houses Sky Media, Nimpuna Sinema and Lyto Game, also South Korea’s CJ Entertainment. Kimo met producers Edwin Nazir and Wida Handoyo soon after.
