The Queen of Black Magic’ Is a Colorful Portrait of a Cult Horror Legend

Suzanna: The Queen of Black Magic It offers an excellent introduction to the legend of Indonesian films, but it is an enjoyable watch even if you are aware of its work. The only pre -conditioning of enjoyment is the fan of horror, because the documentary of David Gregory is packed with clips from the amazing SUZZANNA movie, especially its beloved entries in the early eighties.

The “Indonesian horror queen”, as she became known, was born during World War II; She knew from an early age that she wanted to be a movie star. When she was just a teenager, she brought her first cinematic role to praise the critic. But she did not really go up to her qualitative throne until the 1980s, when she starred in a series of heinous screams that play the characters-on a limited, a woman who rises from the grave in search of revenge-on the basis of well-known monsters of Indonesian folklore.

As you expect, Suzanna: The Queen of Black Magic He explores the life and life of Susanna Martha Friedrika Van Osh-was half a straw, which explains the last name. But it also digs in its influence on the Indonesian cinema by touching the complex political and cultural history in the country, especially because it ran alongside its rise to fame. It is a context that adds much more to her story – as does the inclusion of the film in her personal conflicts, especially the death of her son when he was just a teenager, to help us understand the emotions that directed her performance.

And talking about these offers, while Susanna-as was attributed to the screen; “Z” added to make her name look more mysterious – it was beauty and talent, as she had frightening quality, says Joko Anar in the documentary, and put it at a level with Boris Karloff, Vincent PRICE and Bela Lugosi. Her eyes – who gave up, were sad, electric – her brand, and as fans indicate here, “she can play a role with her outlook only.”

Suzzanna has planted mystery outside the screen parallel to the roles she chose; She performed magic rituals while she was entering into a character, and many fans believe that she had supernatural powers, a look encouraged. She was unusually dedicated to her craft. At one time, we hear from a make -up artist who remembers Susanna that you want to use specifically Livelihood Snakes in the headscarf wore NYI BLORONG To ensure maximum originality.

Throughout the documentary, the Indonesian culture was stressed strongly with its legends and ghost stories. Among the producers, researchers, fans, friends and family members who appear as heads are speaking, there is also a professor of legends Jawin. This perspective helps viewers who are not Indonesians to understand the importance of depicting traditional folklore characters, most of whom have the same long hair, injustice, and high -lived lines and are motivated by topics that revolve around pregnancy, childbirth and revenge. Revenge is usually from a man who is particularly worth, but the harsh upper layers in Indonesia also felt accused of anger, which increased her lifting to the hero among her fans.

There appear a few interviews with suzanna; What we see from the cinema clips is taken from press conferences, where she avoided discussing her personal life. but Suzanna: The Queen of Black Magic Do you dig a later scandal revolving around her second husband? We meet early in the movie as it appears throughout the house they shared, including the room where suzanna died in 2008.

If you notice that it still seems young, it is because, as we discovered later, they were to play when he was playing the role of her teenager in Sankoriang. They got married despite their difference in age-then they participated in the starring of another movie. once again As a mother and son!-Romance led to a tension with the daughter of Susanna and his son-in-law. This rift later broke out to violence and what appears to be a continuous conflict even after her death.

It is a chaotic drama – with Susanna’s reaction to it that was captured by an emotional show of the press – you cannot overwhelm what is in the Suzzanna movie. But it is made Suzanna: The Queen of Black Magic A documentary film that has more transformations and sessions than the typical restriction.

In addition to the documentary that is now flowing on Shudder, the horror platform added four favorite films to the worship that was prominently mentioned: Sundelbolong (1981), Queen of Black Magic (1981), NYI BLORONG (1982), and Sankoriang (1982). It will be difficult to resist the diving immediately immediately after all the clips that strike their gentle delights.
