KKN di Desa Penari (KKN in the Dancers' Village) is a 2022 Indonesian horror film adapted from a 2019 novel released by an anonymous writer called SimpleMan, which in turn came from a viral story that had trended on Twitter a few months prior (think Creepypasta). It was directed by Awi Suryadi (who had gained fame in the local film industry for directing the highly successful Danur series), produced by MD Pictures, and released on 30 April 2022.The film is about a group of college students who go to a remote Javanese village to perform the student study service (kuliah kerja nyata, or KKN for short), a mandatory community service that all undergraduate college students must do before they write their theses. However, they quickly learn that the village is holding a dark secret, made worse by the fact that some of them are not honoring its rules.The film was one of the many victims of the COVID-19 Pandemic's impact on the entertainment industry; principal photography had finished in early 2020, but the pandemic delayed post-production for months. Although cinemas reopened in October 2020, the production house decided to wait until the pandemic subsided so it would not negatively impact the film's performance. The strategy paid off massively; it became an industry behemoth, receiving over 2 million admissions and easily recouping its budget within a week of its release, and continuing to reign over the box office for weeks on end. By the end of its original run, it had raked in 9.2 million admissions, making it the highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time, beating second-place Warkop DKI Reborn: Jangkrik Boss! Part 1 (6.8 million) by an extremely wide margin. Its success ushered in the recovery of the Indonesian cinema, after the pandemic dealt a massive blow to it.During its original run, there existed two versions of the film: a 13+ one, and the Uncut version, which added several erotic scenes and was rated 17+. Following its box office success, MD Pictures issued an extended version subtitled Luwih Dowo, Luwih Medeni ("Longer, Scarier") on 29 December 2022, which added 33 minutes worth of new material, plus a preview of fellow SimpleMan film adaptation Sewu Dino. The rerun reportedly raked in 800,000 admissions.

Dying Town: There are no young people in the village. While it is not confirmed, Nur speculates that, with how backwards the village is, all of them might have left it as soon as they had the means to do so.

Don't Go in the Woods

comment
Don't Go in the Woods: The village has a forbidden forest called Tapak Tilas, which contains an abandoned Javanese pavilion and a spring. Naturally, some of the students break the rules and head there. When Widya and Wahyu's motorbike breaks down, they unwittingly stumble upon a feast held in the middle of nowhere, with dancers providing entertainment. But when they return back to the village, it turns out that they have been fed dead monkey meat.

Snakes Are Sinister
 KKN di Desa Penari / int_476d2edb
comment
Snakes Are Sinister: The dancer spirit has a snake circling over her, Nur once sees Widya dancing with a snake around her neck, and the villagers break into the students' house because they think they see a snake in it. Bima also dreams of Badarawuhi trapping Widya with a snake the first night in the village. After having sex with him, Badarawuhi gives birth to snake children who trap Bima in Angkoromurko.

Downer Ending: Not only the KKN is a failure, but Bima and Ayu end up dying because of the things they did in the village, and the rest of their friends are obviously traumatized by it.

Token Religious Teammate: Nur wears a hijab and regularly prays while doing the KKN. Bima is implied to be just as religious as Nur before he steps in the village, which takes his faith away.

comment
Dark Is Not Evil: Mbah Buyut is a witch doctor who dresses creepily and makes some odd expressions at the students, but he genuinely warns them about the dangers of the village, and later rescues Widya when she is trapped in the spirit world. Nur's guardian angel is an old woman named Mbah Dok, who wears dirty traditional clothing, has Prophet Eyes, and is unpleasant to look at in general. Despite this, she protects Nur from danger.

Cerebus Call-Back: Early in the film, Wahyu teases Widya by saying that she has a fragrant smell. This bit is referenced in the climax of the film, when Badarawuhi tells Widya, after trapping her in Angkoromurko, that she has a fragrant smell.

 KKN di Desa Penari / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: The fates of Bima and Ayu by the end of the film. Their souls are trapped in the spirit world, with Bima being forced to bathe together with his snake children, and Ayu to dance for eternity. Both eventually die from it, though Ayu takes longer to expire, likely because unlike Bima, she did her crimes willingly.

Town with a Dark Secret
 KKN di Desa Penari / int_b02f996a
comment
Town with a Dark Secret: The titular village regularly makes offerings to the spirits, has a cemetery with tombstones covered by dark cloths, and has a fenced-off forest called Tapak Tilas, whose entry is forbidden by anyone. Back in the day, the village sacrificed women to become spiritual dancers, the so-called Dawu, to Badarawuhi, who resides in Tapak Tilas. Their gravestones are the ones covered in dark cloths. While the village eventually abandoned the custom, Badarawuhi never forgot about it, and has been enticing outsiders to become one.

comment
Too Dumb to Live: Ayu, who not only thinks it's a good idea to have non-marital sex in a backwards, traditional village, but decides to do it in a sacred place that the village head has explicitly forbidden her to go in, let alone do smut in it. While Bima has his flaws, he worships Badarawuhi out of a (misguided) sense of duty. Meanwhile, Ayu willingly breaks the rules because it will satisfy her. Unsurprisingly, she suffers the worse fate of the two.

comment
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Averted. Ayu essentially rapes Bima when she makes a deal with Badarawuhi so she can have sex with him. Since his expression is blank the entire time she makes out with and savors his body, it is clear that he is doing it against his will. This is not presented as a good thing.

Fan Disservice: Handsome Bima has three nude scenes in the film. All of them against his will. The first time, he is entranced and forced to have sex with Ayu. The second time, he looks fornlornly as his snake children trap him in a spring. The third time, his soul has left his body, causing him to slowly die with a horrified look on his face.
