Bad enough that shy and geeky Nino (Ramon Y.Tungka) has problems
talking to women as such, but now he has also fallen in love with Virnie
(Dewi Persik), the girlfriend of his good-looking flatmate Aldo (Ibnu
Jamil) - and since there's no way sexy Virnie (whom he often secretly
films when she's making love to Aldo) would fall for Nino under normal
circumstances, he cooks up a love potion from a recipe he got form the
internet ... a love potion that also contains the lace of a virgin's
shroud, and to get this Nino of course has to do a bit of graverobbing. The
love potion however doesn't seem to work on Virnie (actually she knocked
over the glass the potion was in, but Nino doesn't know that), so Nino
burns the virgin's shroud's lace ... not a good idea though, because now
the virgin's pocong (a ghost tied into its shroud) comes after him and
scares him shitless - so much so that he eventually jumps out a window to
his death to escape the pocong. Aldo and Virnie thought their friend was
crazy trying to escape a pocong (which of course they didn't see), but
then the pocong starts to haunt them, too. And only when going through
Nino's things (and finding out about quite a few of his dirty secrets) do
they find out why they have become the pocong's new victims: Turns out the
dead girl Nino got the lace from was actually Aldo's ex whom he, back in
his youth, promised to follow into death should she die before him. Aldo
has long stopped loving her, but he respects the promise he has made and
prepares to kill himself. Before he dies though, he makes a long apology
to the pocong, and when the pocong sees how much Aldo and Virnie are in
love with each other, it just disappears, letting them live happily ever
after ... By no means a great movie, Tali Pocong Perawan
is nevertheless an ok Indonesian horror film, despite its far-fetched plot
and despite the fact that during the first half or so, it seems to veer
off into the territory of bad comedy more than once. But a steady pace and
quite a few surprising plottwists make this acceptable genre entertainment
anyhow.
