10 Amazing Horror Movies That Are Total Nonsense

10. Mystics In Bali

Mystics in Bali earns its place in cinematic history since it's the first horror film to come out of Indonesia. However, the Southeast Asian flick also deserves recognition since it's one of the most deranged movies ever made.

The garbled tale centres around an anthropologist called Cathy, who travels to Bali to study black magic. After encountering a witch, Cathy is transformed into a penanggalan - a flying vampire that disconnects her head from her body while her entrails hang from her neck. As she wreaks havoc on the town, the locals band together to stop to her.

Even though the story is unconventional to say the least, it's not incomprehensible... at first. Once the supernatural elements are introduced, Mystics in Bali can't go more than a few minutes without throwing in something zany, like humanoid pig transformations, screaming fireballs, floating trees, and wizard duels. 

Due to the abundance of silliness, it could be easy not to take Mystics in Bali seriously. However, these goofy moments create an effective juxtaposition when things take a dark turn (especially when the penanggalan attempts to feed on newborns).

The plot may be indecipherable at times, but it doesn't stop Mystics in Bali from being deeply entertaining.
