Three years after Sekawan Limo sent its group of friends into trouble, Bayu Skak is bringing them back for a much bigger mess – this time there is a family secret, a mountain, a supernatural realm and the rather unpleasant business of pesugihan involved.
A Bigger Trip With a Much Worse Destination
The reunion begins with the friends getting together for Andrew’s family birthday celebration, but they soon discover that his family has become involved with pesugihan, the practice of seeking wealth through supernatural means, before the group heads to Mount Klawih to help deal with the situation, only for the trip to become increasingly bizarre.
The mountain hides its own supernatural mysteries, and things get particularly complicated when Juna disappears into another realm, leaving his friends with the job of finding him and figuring out exactly what they have stumbled into, which gives the sequel more of an adventure structure than a straightforward haunted-location movie, with the friends having to keep moving rather than simply trying to survive one night.
Bayu Skak Brings the Gang Back
Bayu Skak isn’t just returning as director here – he also reprises his role in front of the camera, where he directs and stars alongside Nadya Arina, Benidictus Siregar, Indra Pramujito, Firza Valaza, Jihane Almira and Joshua Suherman.
The film is produced by Starvision Plus and Skak Studios, and it runs for a fairly hefty 122 minutes – so this isn’t exactly a quick horror-comedy, and it was released in Indonesian cinemas on 27 May 2026, continuing the story established in Sekawan Limo (2024).
Pesugihan Gives It a Very Indonesian Horror Core
The use of pesugihan is probably the most culturally interesting part of the sequel, as Indonesian horror has returned to this particular belief repeatedly because it carries an inherently dark idea – wanting wealth badly enough that you are prepared to make a supernatural bargain, without necessarily thinking about what the price will eventually be.
Here, that concept is being used inside a much lighter adventure, which is a fun contrast, because the underlying folklore is serious, but the characters dealing with it are the same friends who have already spent one film getting themselves into supernatural trouble – it also gives Mount Klawih a distinctly Indonesian identity instead of feeling like a generic monster adventure simply transplanted onto a mountain.
A Sequel That Actually Has Somewhere to Go
Sequels to horror-comedies can easily become bigger versions of the same joke, so I think the decision to introduce Mount Klawih, pesugihan and a supernatural realm gives this one enough new material to justify its existence.
The 122-minute runtime suggests Bayu Skak and the team are aiming for something considerably more expansive than a simple follow-up, and the combination of comedy, folklore and fantasy should make this quite different from the more serious Indonesian supernatural films arriving this year.
If you enjoyed Sekawan Limo, the returning cast is obviously the big draw, but even if you haven’t seen it, the idea of five friends getting dragged into a supernatural mountain adventure because somebody’s family made a very bad deal has enough going for it on its own.
