Qodrat

Qodrat (2022) is an Indonesian horror film that masterfully blends exorcism with strong religious elements. Directed by Charles Gozali, the movie successfully creates a tense atmosphere through dark cinematography and chilling sound effects. Vino G. Bastian delivers an outstanding performance as a cleric who must confront an evil force terrorizing a village.

One of the film's strengths lies in its storytelling, which goes beyond mere horror and incorporates deep emotional layers. The main character is well-developed, allowing the audience to connect with his struggles. The exorcism scenes are executed effectively, building suspense without relying too heavily on jump scares.

The film also excels in visual effects and makeup, making the supernatural elements feel more realistic. The eerie background score enhances the tension throughout the movie.

However, Qodrat has a few weaknesses, such as some predictable horror tropes. Despite this, the film remains engaging, offering a unique experience with its religious undertones.

With strong performances, compelling cinematography, and effective horror elements, Qodrat earns a solid 8/10, cementing its place as a high-quality Indonesian horror film.

First of all, i never saw this much of action scenes in any horror film. The action scenes and the cinematography was great. For some moment i forgot that i was watching a horror film not a martial art film. The horror scenes were scary enough. But the i could not digest the action and horror and religion together. The storytelling was flawed. There were loopholes. But the film promises to have them cleared in the second Quodrat film. I wonder who would wait for that film. I laughted my lungs out after watching the ending. You can watch the film with freinds and cousins. It's a new kind of cinema.

First of all, it's a terrible film because it's completely confusing whether it's an action movie or a horror. The character development is a BIG ZERO, and the storyline is nothing special, honestly, you'll get bored. Sure, you might enjoy it if you haven't seen any good horror movies, but it's nowhere near the level of others in the genre.

I know it deserves more than 1 star because no movie is that bad every film has something good, even if I didn't like it. But I'm giving it 1 star because how on earth does it have more than 6 stars? Come on, it's below 3 for sure.

Watch it if you want to waste your time. It completely ruined our movie night. It's pure garbage.

Hi. I'm Chris, and I'm an old white dude that likes horror movies.

I caught this on a whim on Amazon and was pleasantly surprised. There's a fair amount going on here. Moral quandary, the clergy and power, all done in a very space yet entertaining. The jump scares are reasonably well done, there's some solid CGI and the addition of martial arts that comes here and there a bit out of nowhere was, to be honest, kinda cool. Not second rate stuff, either.

I've seen some remarks about accuracy to the Islamic faith and - seriously? It's an exorcism movie. As a theologian I'd love to sit down with you and your favourite Christian exorcism movie and I'll have some notes. You will have to wait for me to stop laughing, however.

It gives a stark, grim, taut view of the path of an exorcist and the corruption of faith. If you like horror flicks and possession movies in particular I can safely recommend this really interesting example of Indonesian Horror films.

Indonesia do too much horror movie, until we know already what will happen next. The different that Qodrat offer is the fighting scene, out of nowhere suddenly Qodrat perform martial art like what you saw in The Raid Redemption or Night Come For Us. Other than that, it is all regular possessed scene, countless jumpscare and everything you ever know from indonesian horror. All the cast did their best, especially the actress. The cinematography is beautiful, some remote hometown at seaside. There is till 100 word to fill, who come up with this required characters, I have no idea what to write, oh yeah, this movie is quite scary, even though its cliche, its still scary. Enjoy.
