Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a Horror-Mystery film: "Impetigore"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with the inheritor working in a tollbooth late at night
She's chatting with her friend, who works on another tollbooth
She complains about her neighbors and her financial troubles,
and her friend shares the same situation
They both commiserate about their hardships
The inheritor remarks that the tollbooth she is assigned to, rarely gets any traffic anymore,
and she thinks she might be out of a job soon
In any case, she is just relieved that she won't need to interact with strange people anymore,
especially the mysterious guy driving a sedan, who's been following her around for weeks now
Her friend dismisses it as mere paranoia,
but the inheritor can't shake the feeling that he is after her
The friend changes the subject and comments on the song blaring from the inheritor's radio,
saying that her tastes are so old
The inheritor answers that her radio's been stuck at that particular station
Suddenly, the blood drains from her face, and she stiffens
She whispers to the phone that the man in the sedan is back again
Sure enough, an old sedan slowly drives up to her tollbooth
The man's features are hard to make out in the dim light,
and the inheritor tries not to look at him; but he's staring at her with a knowing gaze
Fortunately, a truck comes, and the man in the sedan drives away
But the man just stops a few meters away,
and steps out of his car, slowly walking toward her tollbooth
She frantically locks the door, and her friend dials their main office for help
The mysterious man calmly asks her about her real name, her father, and if she's from Mandiraja
She tells him that she doesn't know what he's talking about;
and he appears to be mollified and walks away
On the phone, her friend urges her to just leave the tollbooth and run
She does this, but the man begins to chase her with a large blade
The inheritor only makes it a few meters, before the man catches up to her and subdues her
He then attempts to slice her skin
Luckily, a police officer arrives and tells the man to stop
He whispers that their village doesn't want what the inheritor's family left behind;
then he desperately brings down the blade
The police shoot him before he is able to kill the inheritor
After the attack, the inheritor quits her job at the tollbooth,
and starts a small clothing business with her friend
However, sales have been slow; and they're barely making ends meet
She tells her friend that she went through her late aunt's things,
and found an old picture of her 5 years old, with her father and mother standing in front of a house
She thinks that she can go to the village of Mandiraja,
and ascertain that the house does belong to her family; and then she can sell it
Not wanting her to be alone, her friend goes with her
They ride a bus for the 6-hour-long journey
During the trip, a professor seated behind them,
tells her that he routinely coughs to ward off the spirits on board the bus
He tells her that he teaches Russian literature; but he knows Javanese too
She asks him to translate the writing on the piece of paper
she found underneath the skin of her thigh
The professor's eyes are widened;and he explains that the writing is in Ancient Javanese,
and that it's a spell cast by an evil person to protect the wearer
The inheritor becomes disturbed when she keeps seeing the same three children,
standing by the road as the bus travels on
The bus drops them off a few miles away from Mandiraja,
and the two women commission a rickshaw driver to take them to the village
They venture deeper into the mountains,
and they pass by the big house shown in the picture of the inheritor and her parents
She asks the driver if he knows who owns the house,
but he just shrugs and answers that he is never told who owns it
The driver drops them off at the village chief's house; and the inheritor meets an old shaman
They pretend that they are university students, conducting research on the chief's puppetry skills
However, the chief isn't there; and so they have to come back the next day
The inheritor and her friend go back to the big house,
which stands in contrast to the ramshackle huts in the village
However, the house is in a state of disrepair,
and clearly looks like it hasn't been inhabited for several years
Inside, they see that the furniture was left behind by the previous owners
Her friend marvels at the size of the estate,
and becomes giddy at the prospect that the inheritor's family is rich
The inheritor then finds a stack of photos inside a box,
but she notices that she isn't included in any of the pictures
The next morning, the inheritor notices that a burial is taking place in the village
They take a stroll through the woods and enter the graveyard,
where they find the tombstones of the inheritor's parents
She prays for their souls, and hopes that they found peace
On their way out, the inheritor notices that there are a lot of children's graves in the cemetery
They also see two villagers staring at them menacingly
That night, the inheritor gets woken by a strange noise
She grabs a lamp and investigates it, but sees nothing
In the village, a villager gives birth to a baby
The chief comes and drowns the baby
The next day, the two women watch as another funeral procession passes by the house
They finally meet the village chief,
who tells them to visit his house again, so they can talk properly
The inheritor buys lunch from a young vendor girl, and asks her if she knows who owns the big house
The vendor girl's great-grandmother answers in ancient Javanese,
and the vendor girl translates for her
She reveals that the house had been owned by a family
that was the reason why the village was cursed by a terrifying disease
Meanwhile, the friend opens the door to two male villagers
They tell her that the house is owned by someone else, and so they can't stay there
The friend prods them for more information regarding the ownership,
and one of the villagers tells her that the heir is a girl,
and that the chief has been waiting for her to claim the house,
because he has all the legal documents
The friend comes forward, and tells the two men that she is the inheritor
The men are shocked; and they pressure her to come with them to the chief's house;
so she can claim her inheritance
They go into the woods; and the two villagers suddenly attack the friend
they hang the friend upside down
She pleads for them to spare her life
The village chief arrives along with his mother,
the old shaman the two girls met when they first arrived
It seems that the villagers are hesitant to take the friend's life;
so the shaman grabs a blade and slits her throat
She turns to her son and says that there are two female villagers about to give birth soon;
and if they hurry, they can save the babies
On the other side, the inheritor comes back to an empty house, and looks for her missing friend
She tries to call her; but there is no response
The inheritor searches through the village for her friend
She knocks at the chief's door, and asks him if he has seen her friend
He invites her to come in and wait for her friend at his house;
but she refuses and continues her search
Meanwhile, The two villagers pour a bucket of the friend's blood into a tree
The shaman walks out of her house with a basket,
and she hangs freshly-peeled human skin on the clothesline to dry
They do not just drain the friend of her blood, but also skin her
That night, The inheritor attends a village celebration
The chief conducts a puppet show, and the villagers are all smiles
Another female villager gives birth; and the inheritor watches through a crack in the wall
To her surprise, the baby is born skinless
Like before, the village chief takes the baby and drowns it
The inheritor makes a noise in surprise,
and she discovers that the vendor girl from earlier is behind her
The vendor girl whisks her away, and hides the inheritor at her house
She reveals that there haven't been any babies,
who could survive childbirth in the village for 20 years now because of a curse
This curse originated from a rich puppet master, who used to live in the big house
The shaman also worked there as a servant
The puppet master married the most beautiful girl in the village, but their union was not fruitful
After 5 years, the wife finally became pregnant
But the baby was born without skin, and the puppet master became a recluse
Later, Three young girls disappeared from the village,
and the puppet master's daughter mysteriously became healthy
It turns out that the puppet master made a deal with the devil for his daughter's life,
in exchange for the village girls
One night, he grew mad and slaughtered a lot of people, and then killed himself
Luckily, the daughter was taken to the city by a servant,
and ever since then, every baby in the village had been born without skin
The chief declared that to end the curse, they had to kill the daughter and skin her
Right then, The inheritor notices a picture of the vendor girl with the man driving the sedan
She reveals that he is her husband,
and she sent him to the city to find the cure because she is pregnant
Her great-grandmother believes that a curse borne from a pact with the devil,
can never be broken, only transformed,
which is why the vendor girl doesn't want to kill the inheritor,
despite knowing her real identity now
Two villagers come knocking at the vendor girl's door to search for the inheritor
She hides under the kitchen table, and the vendor girl fools the men and sends them away
The inheritor calls the rickshaw driver for help; and he comes with a police officer
They agree to meet at the north entrance to the village
The inheritor confesses to the vendor girl that she had met her husband,
and that he is already dead
The vendor girl falls to her knees in shock upon hearing that
The inheritor sees the rickshaw driver arrive with the police
However, a mob of angry villagers gets to them first
The officer then reveals that he is actually from the village, and he shoots the rickshaw driver
The inheritor runs to the forest to escape the mob
A truck passes by, and she asks the driver to help her
He gives her a ride, but then the driver sees the apparition of the three murdered girls,
and crashes the car
There, The three girls show the inheritor a vision of what really happened:
her mother, the puppet master's wife, was having an affair with the village chief
The chief's mother, the shaman, discovered this and cursed the wife,
causing their daughter to be born with no skin
She also did a ritual to make her son totally forget about his affair with the disloyal wife
However, the puppet master later made a deal with the devil,
and killed the three innocent girls for the skin
He used their skins to make new puppets as part of the ritual,
that would make the daughter healthy again
This is why the three girls have been haunting the inheritor:
because it is her duty to end the curse, by burying the puppets with their bones
They also reveal that the village chief later retaliated against the puppet master,
by pretending to be him, and slaughtering the village people during the puppet show
Soon after, the inheritor finds the puppets,
and digs up the remains of the three girls in the spot they showed her in the vision
The shaman finds the inheritor in the house,
and reveals to her that she is actually the child of the village chief,
rather than the puppet master
The inheritor blames the shaman for starting this curse,
but the shaman reasons that she was a mistake she needed to correct
The other villagers step inside the house, and knock the inheritor unconscious
When she wakes up, she is hanging upside down, and the chief is about to start the ritual
She pleads for her life, telling him that she had already broken the curse
She also tells him that she is his biological daughter,
and that the shaman had been the one who started this curse
The chief is shocked at these revelations and confronts his mother, the shaman,
who reluctantly confirms the inheritor's story
However, She picks up a knife and holds it at her throat,
forcing her son to choose between her and the inheritor
Right then, a villager announces that a healthy baby has been born,
signifying that the curse is finally broken
Confronted by the truth and the weight of his actions, the village chief committed suicide
The shaman is wracked by grief, and kills herself soon after
With the village distracted, the inheritor escapes and runs through the forest
She hitches a ride on another truck as dawn begins
The movie ends with another woman giving birth in the village a year later
The spirit of the shaman appears, kills the fetus in her belly, and eats it
Just like what the great-grandmother told the vendor girl,
no curse made by a pact with the devil can ever truly end
It will only transform into an even more horrific curse
