Five oblivious youths, a video camera, a remote rundown villa, and a creepy caretaker. Doesn’t it sound like the perfect recipe for a horror film? A mysterious death that soon follows takes the story on a route beyond the fourth wall. The group find out that they’re characters of The Draft! of a screenplay, and that their smarts will dictate their survival.
Indonesia is a strong player in the horror genre, and The Draft! is no exception, but a mild warning is due. Some may reference The Cabin in the Woods (2011), One Cut of the Dead (2017), or even Stranger than Fiction (2006), but The Draft! is a monster of its own. The element of familiarity is used to its advantage in satirically witty demeanour. Although some work is required from the audience to fully enjoy its jokes, the payoff is more than rewarding.
