What happens when an old legend stops being research material and starts settling scores? A young anthropology student dives off the coast of Java to document the myth of the vengeful Queen of the South Sea, betrayed centuries earlier. The dive does not go to plan: the queen's spirit claims her body and walks ashore with unfinished business. Directed by H. Tjut Djalil, this Indonesian fantasy-thriller mixes coastal folklore with gunfire, and rarely pauses to explain itself. Enthusiasm included, budget optional.
