FEATURING
THE NORTH AMERICAN DISC PREMIERES OF
4 SUZZANNA HORROR CLASSICS
PLUS HER FINAL FEATURE FILM
AND THE AWARD-WINNING DOCUMENTARY
SUZZANNA: THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC

She’s known as “an icon” (Hi-Def Digest), “a cult legend” (Gizmodo) and “an inspiration for modern scream queens” (The Final Girls). Nearly two decades after her passing, she remains “Indonesia’s Ultimate Queen of Horror” (Screen Anarchy). In this 3 disc/6 film collection, discover Suzzanna for the very first time…or as you’ve never experienced her before: In PACT WITH THE FORCES OF DARKNESS, Suzzanna stars as a woman who returns from the dead for violent revenge, complete with knockoff Freddy Krueger glove. Suzzanna portrays a regal reptile empress and her mortal twin sister in the wild WHITE CROCODILE QUEEN. MALAM SATU SURO and KLIWON FRIDAY NIGHT both star Suzzanna in her most famous role as the grisly ghost of feminist vengeance, Sundelbolong. And in the “fascinating” (Cinapse) Severin Films documentary SUZZANNA: THE QUEEN OF BLACK MAGIC, director David Gregory peels back every startling layer of her controversial life, death and legacy. The 4 Soraya Productions have been scanned in 2K from their original camera negatives in English-friendly versions for the first time ever in America, with over 3 hours of Special Features that include revealing interviews, expert analysis and Suzzanna’s final film, GHOST AMBULANCE.

Disc 1: Pact with the Forces of Darkness / White Crocodile Queen

“The Queen of Indonesian horror” (Collider) stars in two classic films from the latter part of her legendary career featuring three of her most provocative performances of all: Suzzanna has the time of her life as a woman who returns from the dead – complete with eye-popping special effects and Freddy Krueger-style razor glove – to avenge her family’s massacre in PACT WITH THE FORCES OF DARKNESS from writer/director Sisworo Gautama Putra (SATAN’S SLAVE, MALAM SATU SURO). In WHITE CROCODILE QUEEN, directed by H. Tjut Djalil (MYSTICS IN BALI, LADY TERMINATOR), Suzzanna triumphs in a dual role as a malevolent reptile empress who possesses the body of her sexually uninhibited twin sister to unleash savage retribution on the men who murdered their parents. Both Soraya Productions are now scanned in 2K from their original camera negatives in English-friendly versions for the first time ever in America.

Disc 2: Malam Satu Suro / Kliwon Friday Night

In her most iconic role of all, “Indonesia’s greatest scream queen” (Whitlock & Pope) stars as folkloric ghoul Sundelbolong – literally ‘ghost with hole’, the vengeful spirit of a rape victim whose long black hair hides the maggot-infested opening in her back through which her baby was born – in these two classic ‘80s shockers: In MALAM SATU SORO, Suzzanna brings supernatural carnage to the big city when a violent kidnapping unlocks Sundelbolong’s maternal fury. In KLIWON FRIDAY NIGHT, Suzzanna is an agoraphobic author whose haunting by Sundelbolong triggers a nightmare of dark secrets and demonic mayhem. Both films are directed by the legendary Sisworo Gautama Putra (SATAN’S SLAVE, PACT WITH THE FORCES OF DARKNESS) and are now scanned in 2K from their original camera negatives in English-friendly versions for the first time ever in America.

Disc 3: Suzzanna: The Queen of Black Magic / Ghost Ambulance

She starred in 42 movies and is still hailed as ‘The Queen of Indonesian Horror’. But who was Suzanna Martha Frederika van Osch, beloved by the Asian world as Suzzanna yet virtually unknown outside it? In this “stellar” (Hi-Def Digest) Severin Films documentary from director David Gregory (ENTER THE CLONES OF BRUCE, BLOOD & FLESH: THE REEL LIFE & GHASTLY DEATH OF AL ADAMSON), discover the enigmatic horror star best known for portraying vengeful spirits from Indonesian folklore, demons whose supernatural retribution are widely believed to have influenced her controversial life and mysterious death. Through exclusive interviews with family, colleagues, filmmakers and historians, as well as “gloriously over-the-top” (Gizmodo) clips from her classic films, Gregory unearths the legacy of “Indonesia’s eternal queen of darkness” (Vice), complete with over 3 hours of revealing Special Features that include Suzzanna’s final film, GHOST AMBULANCE.
