I have a bit of mixed feelings about this news -- on the happy side we have a new Joko Anwar movie to watch! The Indonesian horror master behind the two Satan's Slaves films and Impetigore has unleashed Grave Torture (Siksa Kubur), his new film, onto Netflix. And when I say unleashed I mean it, it's out right now! Its release only got announced yesterday! Which brings me to the less happy side -- they really should've given us some heads-up on this? Unless my head was buried in the sand (always possible) this wasn't advertised at all? Maybe I'm just a stick in the mud who doesn't like surprises (always possible) but New Joko deserves a big roll-out. He's proven himself several times over now to be one of the most exciting new voices in horror and I worry this is just being treated as feed for the content-mill, tossed into the void of Netflix to never be heard of again. Anyway I guess that's what I am trying to avoid here -- drawing attention to the damn thing. Everybody go watch the new Joko Anwar horror movie with me! Here is a teaser trailer:

Dear Jason,
I want to point out the wrong spelling, its "siksa kubur", not "shiksa tubar", as you can see on the youtube video you pointed out yourself.
Also "shiksa" is apparently a slur so you might want to change that (not that I care, because it felt like every other words are considered a slur nowadays, but you might)
Thanks for pointing that out, Anon, I will fix it now -- I have a feeling spellcheck is responsible for that misspelling and I missed it, because I cut and paste the title from off-site! Sorry about that
