Do You See What I See

The story about a woman who is dating a ghost is interesting, whether using the perspective of the woman, or her friends. The movie uses her friends perspective, so we can see some interesting things like when her friends suspecting whether her boyfriend is a good man or not, or whether her boyfriend is human or not. And of course when her friends are haunted by the ghost. It's an interesting story and surprisingly well executed. However, I think this film needs to deepen the story, especially in the cause of the core incident to add more scary element to the film. Also, the main character's acting still feels a bit stiff. Lastly, I am very satisfied with the ending chosen.

Adapting a short 30 minute-ish audio only podcast into an over 90 minute full feature film is not an easy feat for sure. However I was pleasantly surprised by how good this movie really was initially. It started out strong and I really like how they were able to still make the movie so creepy & tense despite we who have already listened to the podcast kinda got the gist of what will happen next already. Unfortunately the way they dragged the movie in the latter act kinda bogged down the whole movie altogether. But this was in no way a deal breaker as overall the movie was still really worth a watch, even just to witness Diandra Agatha's shift from the innocent naive Mawar to a much more sinister version of herself.

The fact that "Do You See What I See" was an Asian horror movie that I had neither seen nor heard about, was actually more than sufficient to make me opt to watch it. I do have a thing for Asian cinema and horror cinema, so this was a given.

Writers Lele Laila and Mizter Popo put together a fair enough script. It was, however, somewhat on the generic and bland side. I sort of semi-zoned out about halfway through the movie, because there wasn't a whole lot scary stuff going on, and the pacing of the narrative was rather sluggish. "Do You See What I See" feels like it is a background noise type of movie, provided you can understand spoken Indonesian, of course.

I was not familiar with the cast in the movie, but the acting performances were certainly fair enough.

Visually, then director Awi Suryadi certain managed to make an atmospheric movie by using lighting, or lack thereof mostly to be honest, locations and such. It was not a movie that really incorporated a lot of special effects, though. I really do like the corpse effects, though.

Watchable, sure, but "Do You See What I See" was hardly a memorable foray into the Indonesian horror cinema. There are far better and way more scary Indonesian horror movies out there.

My rating of "Do You See What I See" lands on a five out of ten stars.

Another Indonesian movie with a fantastic horror plot. Based on a horror podcast, the movie adaptation is simply superb and wi;l keep the audience hooked.

Although, I dont understand the language but the screenplay and story will keep your eyeballs stuck to the screen (Ofcourse you have to follow subtitles :) ) After a long I have come across such a unique plot in the horror genre. I will definitely recommend this one to watch out, if you are a fan of Horror movies.

You will also get to understand the Indonesian culture related to death rituals and bonding among the friends. The actors are also very good and the movie is a fresh one in this genre. So watch and enjoy :)

9 Stars from me.

Well it's a decent story execution was not good, the thing is movie lacks that connection with characters which it didn't develop which is why you don't feel what's meant to be shown. Lack of impact due to poor execution and story telling. You can watch once if you are bored. Acting was not great either.. i mean they tried but the role of younger sister i mean the actor couldn't act well. The boyfriend was just there nothing much just for plot reason, had to be useful once with nonsense relationship triangle again no impact or sense. Overall movie lacked the connection and very poor execution, you won't miss much if you skipped it.
