The Book of Sijjin and Illiyyin is a visceral tale of black magic revenge from two of the leading women filmmakers working in the horror film genre in Asia, writer Lele Laila and director Hadrah Daeng Ratu.

In rural Indonesia, Yuli grows up despised within her father’s household. Seeking retribution, she turns to a shaman and summons a djinn through corpse-bound ritual. The film fuses Islamic cosmology with unflinching body horror, transforming domestic cruelty into an eerie and blood-soaked vision of spiritual reckoning.

"The Book of Sijjin and Illiyyin... offers a unique take on a staple horror subgenre that delves into the evils of the family home in excruciating detail. Is there anything more terrifying than that?" — Rebecca Sayce, Filmhounds
