Ghost Writer

Some moral messages that I get from this film :

1. Every house must have its own story or memory. That's why hold a salvage event before moving into a new house.

2. Do your job well and seriously, don't play games in the office or workplace.

3. As a good employee you have to do what your boss tells you to do.

4. Do not startle people who are eating or drinking because it can make them choke.

5. It is questionable when the goods offered are luxurious but are sold at low prices.

6. Face your fears with courage.

7. Everything depends on faith, if our faith is strong then we will dare to face it and vice versa.

8. Get used to your new environment, mingle and adapt to others and create a harmonious atmosphere.

9. Man will be disturbed if he interferes, so will Satan.

10. Don't pile heavy burdens on your children that they still can't carry, so that they don't get frustrated and blame themselves so they commit suicide.

11. We must learn to be independent to complete our own business and do not like to bother other people.

12. We must be patient and steadfast when we become an older brother who lives alone with a younger brother and has to bear all the costs of living.

13. Education is the most important thing.

14. Don't depend on objects or talismans that can't actually help you or do anything to you, rely on God who is in control of everything.

15. We must have permission or approval before we use the goods, ideas, ideas and the like from the inventor or owner.

16. Sometimes we have to dare to choose a decision between two choices that are all very important to us.

17. Ask God for help by praying, not to shamans who can only guess based on the information from Satan that they stole from the sky.

18. Show them that what they think of us is wrong, and show that you are right.

19. Be careful when on the highway because many vehicles are speeding and may hit you.

20. Learn to live independently because your life will not forever depend on others, there are times when you will try and struggle with your own sweat.

21. Don't lie or reverse the fact from a fact that should only be for your own sake.

22. Keep and carry out the mandate given to you by others, never lie or disappoint them.

23. Apologize and admit your own mistakes when you really are.

24. Parents can only grieve and pray when they are left by their children.

25. Parents are the best at hiding their true feelings.

26. We must believe in ghosts or supernatural beings even though we cannot see them directly.

27. Suicide is not the solution to your problems. God forbids his servants to commit suicide.

28. The love between parents and children is more important than anything.

Simply refreshing, good jokes, specially if you speak bahasa, Quite thriling horor scene, and also have the touch of family warmth. Its like another ernest things,i mean, a good movie to watch.

First off let me say, the only reason I watched this was because I found it when I was searching for the english kids series ghostwriter and stumbled onto this, I thought they had made a movie and started watching it before I realized this was not related to that at all. Having said that, for some reason I found myself continuing to watch the movie all the way to the end and found it a fun and enjoyable little experience.

Let me add that even though the genre says horror this is more of a comedy movie than a horror one, there are a couple of jump scares and a few creepy moments at the very beginning but it quickly passes and turns into a completely funny movie. I had no problem with this but for anyone looking for a scary/horror experience this is definitely not it.

Tl;dr this was a fun little comedy that is enjoyable if you don't want to think too much and just want to chill and watch something.

Ghost Writer is one of the finest Indonesian horror comedies in recent years, and I personally would give it a solid 10 out of 10. The film offers a refreshing take amidst the typical horror formula often found in local cinema. Directed by Bene Dion Rajagukguk, Ghost Writer cleverly blends chilling horror, lighthearted humor, and heartwarming family drama in a way that feels seamless and genuinely entertaining.

The storytelling flows naturally, keeping the audience curious without feeling forced to be scared. The eerie atmosphere is well maintained but balanced with comedic moments that ease the tension perfectly. Tatjana Saphira shines as Naya, delivering a natural and engaging performance. The supporting cast - Deva Mahenra, Ernest Prakasa, and Endy Arfian - also contribute memorable characters that enhance the film's overall charm.

One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to deliver humor that feels well-timed and not excessive, while also offering meaningful messages about family and the courage to confront the past. The cinematography deserves praise as well, with clean visuals and a carefully crafted setting inside the old house that adds depth to the film's mysterious aura. The soundtrack and sound design effectively enhance the mood without overwhelming the scenes.

Overall, Ghost Writer is a smart, entertaining, and heartwarming film. It proves that the horror genre in Indonesia can be more creative - not just relying on jumpscares and supernatural rituals, but also presenting a human side in a fresh and engaging way. It's a must-watch for fans of local films and those looking for a high-quality, light horror experience.

Naya, a novelist who accidentally finds an old diary from the new house she lives in with her sister. The diary is used by Naya for her novel story. However, something happened to Naya and her sister.

Ghost Writer is an Indonesian film that combines horror and comedy with good execution. A horror story wrapped in dialogue and comedy scenes that provide the perfect balance in this film. Different and unique horror story concepts. The appearance of jumpscares that fit in each scene. The comedy element given both in the form of dialogue and acting is not excessive and appropriate. A comedy that is light to perform but not a comedy that just comes casually. Comedy that is not excessive. Also on the story of the drama that is not excessive. Showing family drama in the last act makes the atmosphere touched by sadness and sympathy for the family story. Everything is able to be delivered snugly and balanced. The plot of the story that goes quietly, does not give a rushed story nor does it slow down. The dialogue used is so light and uses non-formal language that it gives a strong approach to the audience.
