Red pills, martial arts mayhem, and stomach-sprouting trees—Indonesia’s wild psychotronic ride.

From the vault: who knew enlightenment could be so hazardous to your health?

Indonesian psychotronic cinema doesn’t get much wilder than this.

A blend of action, horror, and fantasy unique to Indonesia’s early 80s genre cinema, with a wizard, magic, and a whole lot of blood.
If your meditation turns violent, expect plenty of blood and stomach-churning effects, literalized with every unwise pill pop.
