Storyline:
She once danced for love... Now she dances for revenge.
Ronggeng Kematian follows four young students returning to a remote village where they once did their internship, hoping for a peaceful reunion with the locals. But their arrival stirs something long-buried and vengeful—the spirit of Sulastri, a once-celebrated Ronggeng dancer who was betrayed and murdered under mysterious circumstances.
Now cursed and filled with hatred, Sulastri haunts the village, her deadly dance marking the beginning of each victim’s end. As the students desperately try to escape the increasingly violent supernatural events, they uncover the dark history of the village, the cultural taboos they unknowingly violated, and the truth behind Sulastri’s tragic death.
What began as a nostalgic return turns into a fight for survival—as the ghost of Sulastri won’t stop dancing until her revenge is complete.
