Chris Lie

Chris Lie doesn’t just dip his toes in storytelling—he cannonballs right in and makes a splash. The guy’s fingerprints are all over some of the wildest, darkest, and most uniquely Indonesian cinematic experiences out there. Qodrat (2022)? Oh man, that’s a supernatural thrill ride. The film digs deep into the world of exorcism, blending local legend, spiritual warfare, and a kind of gritty realism that sticks with you long after the credits roll. It’s not about cheap scares; it’s about the kind of haunting that seeps into your bones, mixing faith and fear in this totally unsettling way. Then there’s The Devil’s Lair (2023), which doesn’t just flirt with horror—it full-on dates it. The atmosphere? Thick as stew. The characters? Nobody’s safe. Every frame pulses with this tension that keeps you guessing who (or what) will survive. You can practically feel the sweat and dread through the screen, and Chris Lie’s knack for building suspense is almost annoying—like, let us breathe, dude. And, come on, don’t forget Gundala (2019). Superheroes aren’t just a Marvel-DC thing, you know. With Gundala, Chris Lie helps unleash a homegrown hero who’s all about justice, but in a world that’s messy and real. The fight scenes? Electric. The vibe? Gritty and proud of it. Somehow, Lie weaves together action, folklore, and social commentary without ever feeling forced. All in all, Chris Lie’s projects aren’t just movies—they’re experiences, each with their own flavor, bite, and a little bit of Indonesian soul.
