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!

Reviews
Indonesian double feature
"I liked Santet 1 more than 2 but both movies have their moments."
— Jelmer B. (4/5)
Weird, creepy, and very fun
"Really enjoyed this set. Santet and Santet 2 both deliver a lot of eerie atmosphere, strange supernatural moments, and that kind of anything-can-happen energy that makes them such a good time. A very cool release for fans of folk horror, creature effects, and deep-cut international genre cinema."
— Thomas L. (5/5)

"This isnt the rype of thing you notmally just come across. It is absolutely worth checking out for the bonkers, gead scratching delight that it is. Love this release! Check it out!"
— Stephen J. (5/5)
Just wow
"Santet 1 and 2 ended up being my first real dive into Indonesian horror and honestly I couldn’t have picked a wilder place to start. These movies balance eerie atmosphere with completely unhinged supernatural chaos in a way that somehow works perfectly. The black magic elements, surreal imagery, and overall sense of dread make everything feel unpredictable the entire time. Definitely one of those pickups that immediately made me want to explore more horror from Indonesia."
— Kenia C. (4/5)
'80s Indonesian horror with star Suzanna
"A fun collection of Indonesian exploitation films that feature some wild elements you don't see in Western cinema. Audiovisual quality is also great considering the age of this."
— Tim V. (5/5)
I believe in magic
"Another impeccable transfer of an insane, must see movie!"
— Devon B. (5/5)
Bonkers Indonesian Horror
"Absolute insane supernatural horror from Indonesia. Cool discovery, and I love the slipcover on this one because the Tiger Woman reminds me of an Animorphs book cover haha"
— Jon B. (4/5)
Bewitched
"The first Santet film is worth the price by itself. The sequel doesn’t live up to its predecessor, but I’m glad it was included. Both films look great."
— Jason B. (4/5)
Wild Double Feature
"If you want to watch a movie that makes you say “what the f*ck did I just watch?” followed by watching the sequel and saying “what the hell was that??”, look no further! Tons of cheesy action and charm. Excellent special features. Highly recommended."
— Jeffrey L. (4/5)
I loved Santet, I enjoyed
"I loved Santet, I enjoyed Santet 2. Its a weird Indonesian horror comedy, one minute someone is being brutally murdered and the next they break out into a song about being jobless and turning into Rambo. The comedic elements help with the visuals, which are ambitious but by no means impressive. Its funny seeing a stuffed tiger getting thrown at someone or when the gator woman bobs up from the depths like a buoy, so the fact they aren't trying too hard to make it scary helps."
— Stephen S. (4/5)
