Indonesian Horror Flick "Kiblat" Stirs Up Religious Controversy: Censorship Board Says "Hold On Now," But Religious Leaders Are Saying "Heck No!"?

Indonesian cinema is brewing with controversy! The latest horror film, "Kiblat," has gotten a "not yet censored" status from the Film Censorship Board (LSF). Hold on, why? ?

Apparently, some scenes in "Kiblat" need a closer look before it gets the green light. The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) isn't a big fan either, calling the movie "offensive to religious teachings." What sparked the outrage? A movie poster featuring a woman praying upside down!? The MUI sees this as a blatant insult to their faith. But that's not all! They believe "Kiblat" is a "black campaign" against religion, exploiting religious themes for cheap thrills.? Some filmmakers are chiming in too, worried about the trend of horror movies using religion to scare people.

The movie trailer and poster are already under fire on social media for using religion as horror fodder. ** Leo Pictures, the production company, even had to pull them from circulation! Seems like things are getting a little "over the top." Indonesian filmmakers, like Gina S Noer, are concerned that these horror flicks with religious themes create unnecessary fear.? Makes you wonder, right?

Here's the twist: MUI hasn't even seen the full movie yet!? Based on the poster alone, they're urging the film to be banned, worried it could cause misunderstandings. The "Kiblat" controversy highlights Indonesia's sensitivity towards religion in entertainment.? While the LSF is still making a decision, MUI and the public are already making their voices heard. Will "Kiblat" ever see the light of day? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure, this is a battle between artistic expression and religious beliefs. Who will win? Stay tuned!?
