Melbourne, February 4 (ANI): An Indonesian film based on a menstruating ghost has drawn frowns from the country's clerics.

The Indonesian Council of Ulemas, or MUI, objected to the screening of Hantu Puncak Datang Bulan - The Menstruating Ghost of Puncak.

The religious body claimed the strong sexual and violent content threatened the morals of the country, which has the world's largest population of Muslims.

"The film is filled with pornography, which indulges the libido and, based on our research, it contains violence," News.com.au quoted the MUI's Amirsyah Tambunan as telling Kompas.com.

"We urge the LSF to use its power to stop the movie from being screened because it could damage the nation's morals," Tambunan added.

Firman Bintang, member of Indonesia's Film Censorship Board, accused the film's producers for stirring up the storm as a "promotional gimmick". (ANI)
