jpnn.com, JAKARTA – Actress Givina recently shared a truly unique and unforgettable experience she had while filming the upcoming horror film, The Bell: Panggilan Untuk Mati. Her journey into the supernatural narrative brought an unexpected twist, even for a seasoned performer.
One particular scene in the highly anticipated horror movie required Givina, portraying the character Saidah, to engage in a physical confrontation with Ratu Sofya, who plays Airin. The sequence involved the two characters slapping each other, an interaction that became far more intense than initially planned.
Givina revealed that she and Ratu Sofya had meticulously choreographed the scene beforehand, ensuring a technical approach to their on-screen struggle. “There was a mild physical altercation scene between Saidah and Airin. What’s funny is that on set, if I’m not mistaken, we had already agreed. We planned, ‘You’ll slap here, and I’ll do this and that.’ So, it was all technical when we did the scene,” Givina explained, speaking from the Kuningan area of South Jakarta on Monday (27/4).

However, the raw intensity of the emotions required for the scene led both actresses to dive deeper into their roles than intended, blurring the lines between rehearsal and reality. Givina admitted that she was genuinely startled during the take, a surprise shared by other cast members witnessing the unexpected turn.
“It seems we became too immersed, too emotional. That’s why when I was slapped by Airin, Bap! I was genuinely shocked,” Givina recounted. “Bisma was shocked too. Doctor Usman was also shocked. So, we were like, ‘Okay, slap back,’ and I think that came from the heart; I actually somewhat forgot (the choreography),” she added, highlighting the spontaneous nature of their reactions.

Despite the momentary over-immersion in their characters’ emotions, both Givina and Ratu Sofya immediately apologized to each other once the director called “cut.” Givina shared a humorous anecdote about how they instantly checked on each other’s well-being following the intense slapping sequence.
“The funny thing is, after ‘cut,’ we both immediately went, ‘Are you okay? I’m sorry,’ and then ‘Yeah, I’m okay, but that felt personal just now, why? Why did you do that?’,” she chuckled.

“That’s what I remember most. So, it was quite painful, but it was exciting and funny at the same time,” Givina concluded, reflecting on the memorable incident that showcased both the challenges and camaraderie of film production.
The Bell: Panggilan Untuk Mati delves into a persistent mystical belief on Belitung Island: a sacred bell guarded for centuries by a lineage of shamans to contain malevolent spirits. The narrative unfolds when this ancient artifact is rung by someone oblivious to its perilous risks, unleashing an unspeakable terror.
The film introduces Penebok, a formidable headless demon known for its insatiable thirst for sacrificial offerings. This entity returns to haunt the village, spreading an inexplicable fear among its inhabitants. This escalating terror compels Danto (Bhisma Mulia), who had long since left Belitung, to return to his ancestral home.
Together with Airin (Ratu Sofia) and Hanafi (Maulidan Zuhri), Danto finds himself entangled in a desperate battle against an unseen force, deeply rooted in ancient beliefs and secrets yet to be fully uncovered. This supernatural horror promises a gripping exploration of local folklore and unseen dangers.
The Bell: Panggilan Untuk Mati is scheduled to premiere in Indonesian cinemas starting May 7, 2026.(mcr7/jpnn)
