With Brian Yuzna's Spanish adventure now come to an end - the producer/director's contract with Filmax now expired - all eyes are now on Indonesia and Yuzna's new venture Komodo Films, which he set up with Dutch producer San Fu Maltha to produce horror pictures on the cheap. Horror is the dominant genre in Indonesia and cheap is, indeed, the operative word so the question isn't really whether local audiences will approve - that seems a safe bet - but whether Yuzna can raise the quality enough that these things have a fighting chance of hitting the export market.
Well, the trailer for Komodo's first release is now out and the answer to that question is "I don't know, really." The film is Takut, an anthology project in six parts, and based on teh trailer this is very much a mixed bag. Some segments look quite strong, others not so much. Which is, I suppose, the entire point of Yuzna starting off with an anthology - it's a quick and easy way to figure out who he should continue working with in the future. Want to judge for yourself?
