Renowned filmmaker Joko Anwar returns with another chaotic, blood-drenched nightmare titled Ghost in the Cell. Written and directed by Anwar, the feature plunges audiences into the iron-clad walls of a violent prison.
High-Security Lockup Becomes a Living Hell
Ruled by a tyrannical warden, the facility is already a volatile powder keg divided by warring convict factions. However, the arrival of a mysterious new inmate completely shatters the prison’s fragile balance. Shortly after, a string of gruesome murders leaves mutilated victims on display across the cellblocks.
No Escape From an Unseen Threat
What begins as a clash between rival gang lords rapidly devolves into a desperate fight for survival against a supernatural force. The terrified prisoners quickly realize that the deadliest threat is a vengeful entity roaming the dark corridors. As a result, bitter rivals must set aside their bloody grudges to stay alive. What unfolds is a high-octane blend of hard-hitting action, dark humor, and relentless terror.
