Indonesia’s beloved scream queen, Suzzanna, stars in this decidedly demented duo of supernatural revenge thrillers, SANTET and SANTET 2, which boast not just over-the-top gore set-pieces, but an abundance of slimy creatures, wild plot twists, and even impromptu musical numbers! Vinegar Syndrome presents this hugely popular set of Southeast Asian horror classics on disc for the first time in the United States, both newly restored from their 35mm camera negatives!
SANTET (94 min): After poisoning his wife, local gangster Bisman blames her death on the village cleric and instigates an outraged mob to burn down his hut, killing him in the process. The cleric's wife Katemi (Suzzanna) escapes into the jungle, eventually meeting Nyi Angker, a half-crocodile half-witch who gives Katemi diabolical powers, thus allowing her to commence a bloody revenge…
SANTET 2 (92 min): Katemi is trying to live a pious life in her village, but most of the villagers shun and curse her on account of her previous murderous deeds. When the mentor of Nyi Angker finds Katemi and curses her, the madness in the village starts anew as Katemi turns into a vicious tiger every night, ripping the townspeople from limb to limb!

"Somthing I love about watching movies from different countries is the new perspectives they bring and the costumes they create. I reccomend getting this collection as it's very interesting and bizzare, especially if you want to see a crazy tiger lady and a man explode into blood and snakes. 2 movies for the price of 1 Vinegar Syndrome release is great!"
"The release of the Indonesian supernatural horror films Santet (1988) and Santet 2 (1989) on Blu-ray is available through Vinegar Syndrome. Starring Indonesian scream queen Suzzanna, this 2-disc set marks the first US home video release of these features, newly restored in 2K from original 35mm camera negatives"
"Absolutely love these two worldweird gems. The first movie is the best, but the second one has the best music. Great slipcover and booklet."
"These films are very bizarre in all the best ways, which make them highly enjoyable to watch. You never really know what to expect when insane things start happening out of nowhere like a spontaneous musical number."
"Honestly, Santet made me feel like someone spiked my drink with LSD. I haven’t felt this discombobulated by a film since I watched Kazuhiko Yamaguchi’s Wolf Guy years ago. In my defense, I think most people would pause if a crocodile with a human head popped out of the water and started conversing with the movie’s protagonist like it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I’m willing to bet you’d also be befuddled by a movie bold enough hit pause on the horror elements just long enough to break into a musical number featuring a guest appearance from “Rambo. ” Transfer, Art are outstanding. Happy to add to the collection!"
"This was a blind buy, mainly from the images of the slipcover and the film descriptions on the back. I was surprised at how entertaining both movies are. Yes the supernatural special effects are cheesy, but the story of a woman's revenge kept me attention. Plus the unexpected song and dance number in the middle was so out of left field, it had me laughing out loud. The icing on the cake was definitely the "low cost" cameo of a certain action character singing and dancing. Worth the price of admission alone."
"From the director of the excellent Pengabdi Setan (Satan's Slave) comes a double feature of indonesian horror insanity. Not as great as the aforementioned movie, but pretty cool. Great transfers, great slipcover."
"I have never seen Suzanna before, hoping that this one is that will get me into her movies"
"Bonkers all the way. The tone switches are so absurd but definitely kept me entertained. Crazy "bad" efx. Love it!"
"The first film especially ia a blast! Totally bonkers black magic revenge! With an alligator-lady! And a musical number!"
