Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams2024
Created by Joko Anwar
The premise
Tales of supernatural sci-fi phenomena unfold in this collection of seven mind-bending, interconnected stories imagined by writer-director Joko Anwar.
Horror Vault's take
Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar brings his singular vision to this anthology series, weaving seven distinct yet quietly linked stories that blur the boundary between the supernatural and science fiction. Each episode drops ordinary people into extraordinary and deeply unsettling situations, drawing on both personal terror and something far larger lurking beneath the surface. The series carries a distinctly Indonesian sensibility while tapping into universal anxieties, making it feel both intimate and cosmically unnerving.
