Naman Ramachandran U.K.-based sales and distribution company Blue Finch Films has acquired worldwide rights to Indonesian horror film “The Draft!” ahead of its international premiere at Austin’s Fantastic Fest.
Directed by Yusron Fuadi, the film follows five college students who spend a weekend at a remote villa, only to find themselves battling a powerful dark force.
The project aims to subvert familiar horror tropes in its take on the cabin-in-the-woods subgenre. Fuadi wrote the script alongside Anindita Suryarasmi, with Richard Hames Halstead and B.W.
Purba Negara as co-writers. Munandar Aji and Fani Pramuditya serve as producers. “‘The Draft!’ is my love letter to horror, sci-fi and fantasy film,” Fuadi said. “Being a love letter, naturally I put all my passion, anger, lust, protest and obsession to this slightly underrated and somewhat overdone genre.” Mike Chapman of Blue Finch Films called the film “a thoroughly imaginative and original entry to the horror genre which will delight audiences worldwide.” Blue Finch’s international slate also includes Jean Luc Herbulot’s Sitges-selected “Zero,” SXSW 2024 Midnighter Audience Award winner “Oddity,” and Adilkhan Yerzhanov’s Rotterdam-selected thriller “Steppenwolf.” Indonesia has long been a fertile ground for horror cinema, with the genre deeply rooted in the country’s rich folklore and supernatural beliefs.
