Director: Muhadkly Acho
A night-market haunted house, a startled old man's heart giving out, and a body four friends decide to hide in plain sight — Agak Laen turns a single bad decision into a comedy of escalating cover-ups.
What is Agak Laen about?
The 2024 Indonesian film follows a group of friends running a spook-house attraction at a night market, whose cheap thrills business is barely staying afloat. When their scares accidentally trigger a fatal heart attack in an elderly visitor, panic sets in fast. Rather than call it in, the group buries the man's body inside their own attraction, reasoning that no one will ever look there. For a while the scheme works almost too well — the haunted house gets busier, and their financial troubles start to ease. But secrets kept underground rarely stay quiet, and the friends soon find themselves trapped by the very cover-up that saved them, forced to manage suspicious customers, nosy relatives, and their own guilt without unraveling the lie.
Cast & crew
Director Muhadkly Acho leads an ensemble built around Oki Rengga, Boris Bokir, Bene Dion Rajagukguk, and Indra Jegel as the core group of friends, with Tissa Biani Azzahra, Arie Kriting, Arief Didu, and Indah Permatasari rounding out the cast. The chemistry among the leads carries much of the comedy, since the story hinges on their panicked, improvised decisions rather than elaborate plotting.
Context & significance
Agak Laen arrived in 2024 as one of Indonesia's biggest homegrown comedy-horror hits, pairing broad slapstick with a premise dark enough to keep genuine stakes in play. Night markets and haunted attractions are a familiar setting in Southeast Asian pop culture, and the film leans into that local texture rather than imitating Western horror-comedy templates. Its blend of morbid humor and everyday friendship dynamics is part of what made it resonate widely with domestic audiences before finding an international streaming audience.
