Qorin

This film deserves at least a 7-star rating. If you compare it to other Hollywood horror films with a 7-star rating, it should receive similar recognition. In this case these reviews and ratings can be misleading to be honest. So, if you come this far to make your decision, then my request is give it a try.

This film could be far better, but at the same time it does deliver a genuinely uncomfortable experience. The ending is not up to the mark. The first half is very good and thrilling.

I have seen movies based on Jinn activity, and as a Muslim, I know how terrifying these beings can be. Although no movie can fully capture the real horror of Jinn, these films are a commendable effort.

I don't think this was nearly as bad as all the scathing reviews are making it out to be at all. There was a really interesting story here with solid spook factor that got a little muddied by maybe a bit too much going on.

The sequence of events throughout this story were a little bumpy. It generally felt disjointed and there wasn't much finesses when attempting to weave a smooth story with cohesive transitions. It was very much that kind of movie that confuses you to then explain itself later for that "ah ha" moment. I think some of the confusion could also be bits and pieces getting lost in translation.

Regardless of this I really did enjoy this movie for what it was, granted I am a bit biased towards Indonesian horror. They made it successfully creepy and atmospheric with an engaging story. I think it would have bennifited from a bit more focus, editing and a shorter run time but it was for sure a solid watch. 6.5 rounding to a 6. Would recommend.

When it comes to assessing a hyper local horror movie, there are several factors that can make or break the overall experience for a viewer. While the cinematic elements of a film, such as color grading and set design, may be visually impressive, they alone cannot save a movie that falls short in other key areas. Unfortunately, this is the case with the horror movie in question.

Despite its stunning visual presentation, the film fails to deliver a compelling story that is truly terrifying. The script feels unprepared and lacks the necessary depth to draw the viewer in, leaving them disconnected from the characters and their experiences. As a result, the horror elements of the movie fall flat, failing to elicit any real fear or suspense. I am myself not feeling it at all.

Ultimately, this movie is a disappointing example of a horror film that fails to deliver on its promises, leaving viewers feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. Waste my time.

An evil teacher is sexually assaulting his students and more than that want to control their Qorins which he tricks the girls to summon by forcing them to take a certain test. The evil teacher also seeks full control over each of the Qorins and turn them into his followers to gain all the power. Now Qorins are Jinns which each individuals will have and once summoned, they are the ones to push an individual to commit an evil deed. So the teacher finds the helpless girls at the boarding school a easier way to misuse them and control their respective Qorins. So it is upto two strong girls to fight back and even save the rest of the girls. How they do it forms the story.

It's a low budget horror film with a very slow narrative and barely any blood. The scares are there but the slow narrative makes it a lengthy watch and overall it is a mixed result. The motive behind the teacher's need to summon the qorins is pretty straight forward and even his hatred towards his father in law amplifies his greed for power. Adding to that, him being a pervert assaulting the girls. The slow narrative meant to build up the events for the horror to be unleashed but it just loses the impact. It is the performances by two lead actresses who fight back that makes the story bit interesting.

Overall it was a dull watch which could've been better with a tighter screenplay.

Risky choice taking Islam as a red treat of your movie. Unfortunately it doesn't pay off at all. The recitation of the holy Qu'ran feels of and taking place where the bible wpuld be mlre fitting.

It's very interesting to see Java, Indonesia take center stage. But the movie is trying to many things without having a solid script or well thought out screenplay. So with that good acting, decor and even an ok script kinda fall through.

The movie has too many story gaps and at one point implodes with trying to make the story comem around. Too much suspense after a very decent start without going anywhere.

Who should watch this: anyone interested in seeing a somewhat not totally terrible Indonesian horror flick. But truth said, no one on the planet will miss out for not watching this.
