-----
* BeeAfraid: Murni kills her first target by conjuring a swarm of bees to sting him to death.
* BigBad: Gendon, the EvilSorcerer who manipulates Murni into taking up sorcery.
* BrotherSisterIncest: [[spoiler:Murni is still attracted to Permana even after learning he's her brother. Permana does not seem to return these feelings.]]
* TheCasanova: Kohar broke a lot of hearts, including Murni's, before marrying Baidah for status.
* CensorSteam: As Gendon teaches Murni black magic, she is completely naked but hiding behind a plume of smoke.
* DefiledForever: Murni believes she's this because she gave her virginity to Kohar before he dumped her.
* HangingAround: Murni controls a sash to hang one of her targets from a tree.
* IFoundYouLikeThis: After Murni is thrown off a cliff, she is nursed back to health by a kind stranger who teaches her the sorcery needed to seek vengeance.
* JobTitle
* LaughingMad: Baidah's hallucinations briefly drive her to this.
* ModestyBedsheet: {{Exaggerated}} during a sex scene between Kohar and Baidah, in that the latter's wearing the bedsheet ''while the former's on top of her''.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: At first Kohar doesn't believe that Murni has returned because nobody should have survived the height she fell from.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: [[spoiler:Gendon uses magic to make it look like Permana is cheating on Murni so she'll stay under his thumb.]]
* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Over the course of the film, Murni goes from innocent woman to lynching victim to vengeful sorceress to [[spoiler:trying to slaughter the entire village before finally sacrificing herself to achieve redemption]].
* ProtagonistTitle
* PsychicAssistedSuicide: [[spoiler:Murni uses magic to force Kohar to rip his own head off.]]
* QuicksandSucks: Murni conjures quicksand to drown her third victim.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:A severely-injured Murni uses the last of her energy to kill Gendon, thus saving the village.]]
* TakingOverTheTown: [[spoiler:Turns out Gendon did all of this because he's bitter about losing an election to become headman decades ago, and wants to take over the village or destroy it.]]
* TorchesAndPitchforks: After Baidah goes mad, Kohar blames Murni using BlackMagic and leads an army of torch-carrying villagers to kill her. They burn her house down with her mother inside and throw her off a cliff, which indirectly leads to her learning ''real'' sorcery.
* VoodooDoll: Gendon uses the Indonesian equivalent to control people.
* WorstWeddingEver: The film opens with one. The bride has hallucinations of evil spirits and snakes, the groom's attempts to calm her down cause chaotic disruption of the wedding party, the local shaman starts ''levitating'', and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking it starts to rain]]. Murni is blamed for all of this and nearly murdered, kickstarting the plot.
* TheXOfY
* YourHeadAsplode: [[spoiler:Murni defeats Gendon by making his head burst open.]]
