Teguh Raharjo

Teguh Raharjo, honestly, isn’t a name you just breeze past if you’re into Indonesian cinema. Dude’s got a pretty wild resume, mixing up genres like he’s making a cinematic cocktail. Let’s talk Qodrat (2022)—that one, wow, it’s basically a supernatural thrill ride, where exorcism and urban legends crash headfirst into gritty modern life. Teguh helped shape a story that dives into the human psyche and then just rips it wide open, tossing in demons both literal and metaphorical. It’s not just jump scares and creepy kids; there’s something raw about the way the film messes with themes of faith, redemption, and the kind of darkness people drag around. Then you’ve got Wiro Sableng 212 (2018), a total genre flip. Suddenly, we’re in the thick of this kung fu fantasy madness, swords flying, magic exploding, and a main character who’s as goofy as he is legendary. Teguh’s fingerprints are all over the way the movie blends humor and action, never taking itself too seriously but still dropping some killer fight scenes. It’s got a throwback vibe, but with enough fresh energy to keep you grinning through every off-the-wall sequence. And let’s not forget May the Devil Take You (2018). That one? Pure nightmare fuel. Teguh dives deep into horror territory, unspooling a haunted house story where family secrets fester and supernatural terror never lets up. The film’s got this relentless tension—old-school scares with a modern, twisted edge. It’s the kind of movie where, honestly, you’re probably going to sleep with the lights on. Teguh Raharjo’s work is gutsy, unapologetic, and refuses to play safe.
