Ardi, a 21-year-old cinephile who prides himself on being immune to Indonesian horror films. Introduced by Kitti, an ambitious film producer, and Rossi, a creative director working on a new project, Ardi expresses his disdain for local horror films, which he believes are of poor quality and rely too much on cheap jump scares. Through interviews and interactions with his friends, including humorous moments shared while watching horror films together, Ardi's arrogance and skepticism toward the genre are evident. His friends challenge him to watch clips from some of the most terrifying horror films, hoping to make him experience fear.
