Siksa Neraka

I rate it 9 because it is worth watching for me. I think in today's world where people don't know bounds to bad things, it's worth looking into ourselves what wrong are we doing to ourselves in the race of lives to get pompous and lavish. It's a Imaan refreshing for most of us so that we can reflect ourselves at moments. The lead female actress I have seen in many indonesian movies, Indeed she is a good actress and four siblings have also done justice to the role. These type of movies should be made more often. Thank you Indonesia, producers, directors, writer and all those who contributed to this movie and also all those who understood the message of the movie. *********

The movie only teaches you one thing - you're going to hell anyway so might as well enjoy your life on earth lol. The concept of good vs bad in religion is so ridiculous, I can't even! There's a boy who's going to end up getting his tongue severed for the rest of time just because he spoke a victimless lie. Religion is whack! The gore was good, but the story was really poor. Acting was worse. Father character was more like a jail superintendent and mother his silent accomplice. I think they should be sent to hell for abusing their kids (literally physically abusing them). This is a propaganda film for people to be 'good' as per the religion. But I think it works the other way. I would forsake a religion that had such unjust punishment waiting for me, just because I wanted to enjoy my life.

Siksa Neraka is a great cinematic work that primarily draws attention through its visual elements. In this film, visuals and CGI seem to take center stage, providing a mesmerizing and unforgettable cinematic experience. Each depiction of torment is genuinely frightening and grotesque, creating an atmosphere in line with the horror theme. These stunning visual effects succeed in immersing the audience in a chilling world. The visual artists involved in this project deserve recognition for their skills in creating an image of Hell filled with gore, fear and horror.

Unfortunately, the beauty of the visuals is not complemented by the depth of the story. The plot is extremely shallow, and as mentioned, it seems tailored to a children's level of narrative. For those seeking a complex or emotional storyline, you will be disappointed.

Overall, Siksa Neraka can be enjoyed as an exhibition of the latest visual and CGI skills from Indonesian filmmakers, and really - that's it. For those who actually looking for a movie with an actual story, Siksa Neraka is not it. All of these can be done in a 15 minute video.

As someone who was raised Pentecostal, hearing about what awaits sinners in hell was a staple of my childhood. In fact, the reason I stopped going to church was because the older I got, the more I realized that each sermon dedicated a lot of time to the cost of sin and instilling the fear of an eternal of torment, even in Sunday School. So when I heard about this film, it piqued my interest, as I have never seen religious propaganda quite at this level before, and Indonesia has been on a roll lately with its horror offerings. Although I watched the movie in its entirety, I can't confidently say I enjoyed it. But as an exercise in religious control and how it affects the people most susceptible to it, it really does crawl under the skin in a wholly different way than traditional horror.

The first half of the movie is a touching family film about a father and a mother of 4 children who seem to love and honor one another. The music is sweet, the interactions are very "After School Special" and it seems like the kids are going to grow up to be respectable and well adjusted individuals. But below the surface, the children all lead double lives. The thing is, you'd think they were murderers or drug traffickers or something along those lines. Aside from the oldest male child, the rest are literally just teenagers doing teenage things, but that didn't stop the film from showing the repercussion of their actions (not matter how relatively tame they are).

The second half of the film is basically spent in hell, and for 40 of so minutes, we see people being tortured in many unique ways, the next more horrifying than the last. The SFX were well done, although you can tell its SFX so it takes a lot of the sting out of the visuals, but the torture is creative, unique and absolutely demented. The fact that anyone would believe God, in all his benevolent glory, would allow his children to suffer this was for eternity, is what really makes the story that much more horrifying. The fire and brimstone religious fanaticism that is responsible for this type of belief is the real terror to be found here. No one in the main cast deserved this level of absolutely barbaric punishment, and I shudder to think that anyone would watch this movie and think, "That's exactly what's going to happen to me if I don't repent."

I've always been under the belief that God wants you to come to him of your own free will, because you want to welcome him into your heart to change your life out of LOVE, not because you fear the eternal damnation of hell. I mean, why would any supreme being want someone to come to Him solely because they fear the alternative? That's what this movie ultimately does; it makes you want to lead a better life because you fear going to hell, not because of your love for God, and that's where these types of films ultimately fail.

I watched this movie as a moderately religious person and I wasn't scared, I just felt pity. If it takes the fear of hell to make you accept God into your life, then it's not the right reason to do so. As a form of entertainment, it just didn't do enough to truly make it a successful horror film.

Movie's surface depiction of what it is going to be like in hell.

The story is a simple tale of a family from a village. 4 siblings with different characters that face a fatal death and woke up in hell.

Loved that the flow of the movie is nice. There may be a slight language difference but the film overall gave me a wake up call.

What the director is trying to convey in this film is not a scare tactic but a reminder to all of us. The sins we do on this world that we temporary live will be judged in the hereafter those wrong doings will be punished according.

It is a perfect movie. Every single graphic scene in this movie has a flash back of what happened that led to the graphic grotesque scene. Truly enjoyed.
