Ratu ilmu hitam

I first saw this in the early 90s on a vhs.

Revisited it recently after disliking the remake.

Weird scene : Murni already told her mother about losing her virginity n her lover breaking his promise about marrying her and we as audiences became aware of this situation but was it necessary to the show the scene wher she loses her virginity and that too without any sex or nudity.

Another lol aspect is Murni doing naked karate moves in the middle of the night. That is how her mentor taught her black magic.

Her jumps on a hilltop and a sparking moon as the backdrop can only be applauded.

Murni bathes naked in a river n no nudity.

Ther is this smoke coming out from the top of Murni's head n at the background we have this pressure cooker music/sound.

All thru the rituals Murni is naked but we dont get to see anything.

A man is charged 200 for a coffee n that too in the 80s. I dont kno whether it was rupees or dollars.

Two fried bananas n a cup of coffee for 500. But can someone tell me the currency?

Wtf man, Murni is able to lactate n breastfeed a baby without getting pregnant.

And watch out for the scene where a body gets smashed as if someone firing bullets at the body along with shooting sound.

A guy repeatedly does karate jumps, cheeks turn into puss filled balloons and last but not least Murni is able to get herself inside the earth without any digging.

This film begins with a young bride by the name "Baedah" (Siska Widowati) preparing to marry her future husband named "Kohar" (Alan Nuary). But as Kohar approaches his new bride, Baedah has a hallucination which so terrifies her that she runs inside the house to escape. While this is happening, a terrible storm suddenly develops which wreaks havoc upon the wedding feast and sends the guests into a panic. Not long afterward, Kohar becomes convinced that a past lover by the name of "Murni" (J. P. Suzzanna) has done this through black magic, so together with several young men from the village, they march out to kill her. Meanwhile, Murni just happens to be at home with her mother and doesn't know anything about what has happened until the mob reaches her house where they drag her out and subsequently throw her off a cliff. As luck would have it, however, she is rescued by an evil wizard (played by W. D. Mochtar) who takes her to his small hut where he nurses her back to health. And it's then that he teaches her the art of black magic and fills her with a terrible rage so that she can exact her revenge. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an interesting film which benefited greatly from the performance of J. P. Suzzanna, who was not only beautiful, but played her part extremely well. Likewise, the exotic scenery aided this film to a certain degree as well. On the flip side, however, the suspense was lacking, and the script could also have used some improvement. Be that as it may, while this wasn't a great movie by any means, it wasn't necessarily that bad either and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.

Tasty Indonesian horror babe Suzzanna plays Murni, a woman seduced and spurned by the man she loves, wrongly accused of witchcraft, and then thrown off a cliff by an angry mob who aren't too bothered with minor details like due process of law. Narrowly surviving her ordeal, she is nursed back to health by an old man who urges her to seek revenge on those who tried to kill her using the powers of black magic. Having killed several villagers, and made her ex-lover tear off his own head, Murni feels avenged, but the old man who taught her all of her evil tricks has his own agenda and wants her to continue with the slaughter.

If weird and wonderful whacked-out world cinema horror is your kind of thing then this supernatural Indonesian/Japanese/Philippino co-production from 1979 should fit the bill nicely: it's not exactly great film-making, but with terrible dubbing, awful acting, some truly bizarre moments (my favourite bit being when Murni takes up smoking—quite literally!), and gruesome deaths aplenty (including an attack by bees, strangulation by scarf, drowning in a paddy field, the wonderfully bloody self-decapitation, lots of erupting veins, and an exploding head), it's almost impossible not to enjoy.

6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for the flying head and Murni's hilarious fall off the cliff, hitting a tree halfway down and landing straight into the arms of the old man.

When Baedah,daughter of the wealthy village headman, is plagued by horrifying visions on her wedding day,her husband Kohar suspects that black magic is at work.Convinced that the source of the hallucinations is Murna played by '70s Indonesian horror queen Suzzanna,the poor girl he seduced and then abandoned for Baedah,Kohar rallies a mob to burn down her house and throw her into a ravine.Murna is rescued by a magician,who helps her seek revenge by teaching her the black arts.She then returns to her village and gruesomely kills several of her persecutors,saving Kohar for the last and most hideous death."Queen of Black Magic" is a classic of Inodnesian horror.The dubbing is terrible and the acting is pretty bad,but it offers some gory deaths including the demise of Kohar,who pulls off his own head in a fountain of arterial gore.If you enjoy watching wild Indonesian cinema "Black Magic Terror" is a blast.

This was a fun movie. In no way is it a good movie but for all of us out there that like gory B horror films, this was a great film. With plenty of gory moments, bad dubbing, bad filming, and did I mention gore, this one was a keeper.

Basically, a few people in a small Indonesian village have been murdered in mysterious ways. The village people believe it to be black magic and point the finger at an innocent woman. After they throw her from a cliff, an older man helps to heal her wounds. He is skilled in the black magic ways and teaches her what he knows so that she can exact revenge upon the village.

I believe that this movie was made working from the fame of the movie Black Magic from the mid 70's which was a Shaw Bros. film. In know way is this movie similar. This movie is straight schlock, but good schlock. The storyline wouldn't survive without the gore scenes. Those scenes are rather well done, I might add. Some of the scenes are very similar to a film made just a couple of years later name Scanners. We see bursting veins, a man ripping his own head off, a body exploding, bee attack, etc etc.

If you are into these crazy types of film, this one is so worth checking out. You won't regret it. 7/10
