Horror-Drama Film 'Lastri: Arwah Kembang Desa' Releases Trailer, Featuring Late Actor Gary Iskak

The Indonesian production house Abelle Pictures has unveiled the official trailer and poster for their upcoming horror-drama film, 'Lastri: Arwah Kembang Desa.' The movie is slated for a nationwide cinema release on Thursday, July 16, 2026. Notably, the film features the final performance of the late actor Gary Iskak, who tragically passed away on November 29, 2025, following a motorcycle accident in Jakarta. In the two-minute, 20-second trailer, Gary Iskak portrays Turenggo across two distinct time periods: his youth and his older years. He shares significant screen time with Hana Saraswati, who plays Lastri, and Audy Bella, who portrays Atmi. These two actresses embody Turenggo's partners in different timelines. The narrative centers on Lastri, who died young and is depicted as seeking retribution against Turenggo and Atmi for their past actions. Lastri's spirit is widely known, and during her life, she faced rumors of infertility with Turenggo. Hana Saraswati shared that working on this film, Gary Iskak's last project, was a deeply emotional experience for the cast and crew. She expressed a desire for the film to be well-remembered. Audy Bella described her relationship with Gary Iskak as more than friendship, considering him family, and praised his generosity with knowledge, making him unforgettable. Director Hendry Tivo highlighted the film's blend of horror and drama, emphasizing atmospheric tension and plot twists over jump scares, though some are present. He noted the challenge of directing actors on the East Javanese dialect but found the workshop process efficient. Bella also mentioned her initial difficulty with the dialect but was motivated by the compelling storyline.

I want this film to be remembered well by many people.
