Corpse Hunters

To everybody's real surprise, Joko, the nerdy boss of the Corpse
Hunters, suddenly shows up with a girlfriend, Kunti, and what's more,
she's gorgeous and has agreed to marry him. Especially his assistant Mona
is upset by this, because while she would have never had anything even
remotely resembling a sexual relationship with her boss, she always
enjoyed his attention. But as much as she tries now, she just won't
succeed in seducing him. Eventually though it turns out that Kunti isn't
actually a woman with a bad taste in men at all but a kuntilanak (ghost
with a nail in her skull), out to have her revenge on those who have
killed her. By and by, everybody finds out about Kunti's real identity,
but naturally it takes Joko the longest, being blinded by love, and thus
he gives her enough time to kill those who have wronged her (her husband
and his caucasian mistress), before he joins Mona and the rest of the
Corpse Hunters in an effort to get rid of her for good ... Mostly
unfunny and uncreepy horror comedy telling an often-told tale ... there's
really not much more to say about this one, other than it's pretty much a
waste of time.
