With the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival fearlessly taking place in spite of recent terror attacks the Montreal born Frontières co-production market will join the event for a third time. As movie industry professionals from across the globe convene in the city an array of filmmakers will be looking to connect the dots in collaboration, hoping for a charm to birth their genre projects. Fresh from cracking eggs filled with blood over the Easter long weekend, Baskin director, Can Evrenol is one of the selected few to pitch his newest fear flick.

Put your palm to the screen after taking a look at the exclusive debut of the title treatment for Housewife. With the tagline of “There’s Only You, And Your Dreams” it’s a mystery as to who or what the titular character will be. By the looks of those nails it’s safe to say you will be in the clutches of another nightmare from the Turkish director.

In the horror prequel, “A shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the ‘Dancing Village,’ a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away, and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.

“Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new ‘Dawuh,’ a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.”

Kimo Stamboel directs from a screenplay by Lele Laila.
