“You will come to realize who your true enemy is.”
The official trailer for Mike Wiluan’s historical monster film, Orang Ikan, has been unveiled, ahead of its world premiere in the Tokyo International Film Festival’s Gala section, according to a report on Deadline. The trailer, which can be seen below, shows two men who are fighting on opposite sides of the war, forced to come together to face a deadly threat.
The film stars Dean Fujioka (Fullmetal Alchemist) and Callum Woodhouse (All Creatures Great and Small).
“Orang Ikan is a creature horror that draws its inspiration from the early monster films such as Jack Arnold’s 1954 Creature from the Black Lagoon combined with a popular Malay Folklore and actual reports of sightings by Japanese occupying forces in East Indonesia during the war,” said writer-director Wiluan.
“Orang Ikan is an Asian interpretation of the creature theme set during the tragic real life occurrences of WW2. Aside from the horror, the film accentuates the theme of brotherhood and humanity against devastating reality of survival. This particular theme was inspired by John Boorman’s 1968 classic Hell in the Pacific.”
