A series of unexplained disappearances begins to haunt the construction of a massive bridge connecting two regions. Rumors spread that the victims are being offered as “tumbal”—human sacrifices believed to ensure the project’s completion.
Determined to uncover the truth behind his father’s mysterious death at the construction site, Yuda infiltrates the company responsible for the project alongside his younger sister and their mother. As they dig deeper, they uncover terrifying secrets involving black magic, hidden rituals, and a conspiracy that threatens anyone who gets too close. With more lives disappearing, the family must confront an ancient evil before they become the next victims.
Tumbal Proyek is directed by JeroPoint, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Sandika Gusti and Shinta Puji. The film was produced by Dee Company, one of Indonesia’s leading horror studios, and filmed in Surabaya, Indonesia. Running for 106 minutes, it combines supernatural horror, suspense, and emotional family drama while exploring the folklore surrounding ritual sacrifices in large-scale development projects.
The film’s marketing campaign emphasized its unsettling atmosphere and social themes, portraying the fear and superstition surrounding construction-site tragedies. Following its theatrical debut, Tumbal Proyek became one of Indonesia’s notable horror releases of 2026, attracting more than one million admissions within its first ten days in theaters.
