For those who follows The Chanting (Kuntilanak) portray by Julie Estelle, this Mangkujiwo is actually part of the Julie Estelle Universe. If I could compare other Indonesia Horror movies to this one, its literally another dif ball game since this is more like a drama political horror than any regular horror. To those who watch this movie while running errand, I suggest you watch your movie some other time because this movie is very complicated and the time frame is running back and forth. The movie is well made and you should pay a close attention to the details.. From. The wardrobe, makeup dan the art, this movie is taking the background story of Middle Java Indonesia in the 50's-60's and they use the Aristocrats drama as the premise. Brotoseno and Cokrokusumo once a good old friend back in their service period in Keraton unfortunately Cokrokusumo betraying Brotoseno so Keraton was banishing him from their royal kingdom.
Several years passing by, Brotoseno finds a way to avenge Cokrokusumo by creating a mystical beast Kuntilanak.
Kuntilanak itself was portrayed by Asmara Abigail, she plays Kanti in the movie and Kanti was Brotoseno personal dancer.
Kanti was with child when Brotoseno founds her in the village but sincehe knows that the child she conceive is Cokrokusumo's then that time only Brotoseno took Kanti in his house and did some rituals to transform Kanti into Kuntilanak.
Before Kanti kill herself, Brotoseno tear Kanti's womb and on that day Uma was born. Of course as child Uma never knows her biological Mother but coming that time Uma was just about to face any danger, Uma start to sang Lingsir Wengi and Kanti came and saving Uma. So then Brotoseno knows that Uma is the perfect weapon he could use to kill Brotoseno.
