Qorin

Don't just waste your time, watch something else, anything!! The movie is boring, worst horror movie ever made 😂. And I'm trying to make a review, I need to put 600 words.. anyway DONT WATCH, many horror movies to watch rather than this.. not worth the time, it clueless, no storyline, it's just all over the place. The more you watch, the more confusing it is. I have never rated a movie but I decided to do this because it's bad and doesn't deserve to be on Netflix. And the annoying part is, it's soooo Long. And you get bored, but I finished it and it's not advisable for you to watch if you are an horror freak like me.

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.

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.

Well, it was just a bad movie, wasn't it?

To start, as a random Muslim who ended up watching this film, I hope that non-Muslims or even young Muslims who aren't very well-read, are intelligent enough to understand that this is a poor depiction of Islamic schools and what goes on in (most of) them.

Moving on to the film itself, I believe after the opening which was decent, the people behind the film missed out on something that could've been done in a much better fashion. All of a sudden, you're thrown into a pool of suspense, without quite clearly understanding WHAT and WHY. The film does not do a very good job at explaining the story, and consequently, the plot ends up being all over the place. Also, there appeared to be two main characters, and I'm not quite sure what about their personalities would have made me root for either of them. Overall, it felt like a concoction of ideas, as if the writer or the director just thought he had a couple of brilliant notions that he just could not choose between, so might as well put them all together. A big mess.

Additionally, the make-up and little bit of CGI used were both awful. And what in the world was that dreadful "villain laugh" from the antagonist towards the end?

The one positive I can extract is that the cinematography was rather impressive. Oh, and the acting was actually pretty good, especially from the actors playing the two main girls.

In conclusion, would I watch this a second time? No. Do I recommend you to watch it a first time? No.

I hadn't heard about this 2022 Indonesian horror movie titled "Qorin" before 2023, as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch it. I liked the movie's cover, and thus I picked it up. And with it being an Asian horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch it.

However, writers Lele Laila and Ginanti Rona failed to put together a storyline for the movie that entertained me. The narrative was too monotonous and there weren't enough scary stuff in the movie to really keep the movie interesting. And it didn't help one bit that all the characters in the story were essentially just one and the same.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. And whether or not the actresses in the movie performed well or not was rather difficult to distinguish, as all the female characters in the movie were essentially just cut from the same cloth; they all looked and acted the same way.

Director Ginanti Rona's 2022 movie was a disappointing movie experience, and not one I would recommend for fans of the Asian horror cinema. There are far better Indonesian horror movies readily available.

My rating of "Qorin" lands on a three out of ten stars.
