Sewu Dino (lit. 'A thousand days') is a 2023 Indonesian horror film directed by Kimo Stamboel, based on Simpleman, a viral Twitter thread of the same name.[3] The plot follows, Sri a young woman who accepts a generous job offer and is tasked to perform a cleansing ritual for Dela Atmojo, an unconscious girl who is suffering from the hex of 1000-days. The terror begins when her coworker neglects to finish the ritual. Failing to perform until the 1000th day will result in their demise.[4]
Plot[edit]
In the midst of economic difficulties, Sri (Mikha Tambayong) is accepted to work for the Atmojo family for a high fee, because she is unique: she was born on Friday Kliwon. Together with Erna (Givina Lukita Dewi) and Dini (Agla Artalidia), they are taken to a hidden hut in the middle of the forest. In the hut, Sri, Erna and Dini are tasked with washing Dela Atmojo (Gisellma Firmansyah), the granddaughter of Karsa Atmojo (Karina Suwandi), who is unconscious because of Sewu Dino's (A Thousand Days) witchcraft curse. They cannot run from the hut because they are bound by a mystical agreement with Karsa Atmojo, and they must complete the ritual until the 1000th day. If they break it, death awaits them.
