Plot Summary

Inspired by Indonesian folklore, Pamali is a chilling horror film that delves into the consequences of breaking cultural taboos. The story follows Rika (Taskya Namya), a young woman who, after the loss of her parents, returns to her family’s abandoned house with her husband, Jaka, hoping to sell it for a fresh start.

However, as they begin clearing out the home, they unknowingly violate sacred traditions—disrupting the spirits that have long dwelled there. From whistling at night to improperly disposing of old possessions, each seemingly innocent mistake unleashes a terrifying chain of supernatural events. As eerie whispers grow louder and ghostly apparitions torment them, Rika must uncover the dark past of her family home before the spirits claim her soul.
