About the Film
Petaka Gunung Welirang is an Indonesian supernatural survival horror film directed by Indra Gunawan and written by Upi Avianto and Maya Azka.
Produced by Starvision Plus, the film explores Indonesia’s long-running tradition of mountain horror, combining hiking culture, local folklore, and supernatural beliefs.
Set against the isolated landscapes of Mount Welirang, the film builds its horror through atmosphere and psychological tension rather than relying only on jump scares, where the wilderness itself becomes a threatening presence, with the characters forced to confront both external dangers and unseen forces connected to the mountain’s legends.
The story follows a familiar theme in Indonesian horror: places of natural beauty can also hold ancient mysteries, and those who ignore local warnings may face consequences beyond explanation.
