Qorin

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.

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.

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.

This was my first Indonesian horror movie and must say that the start was amazing. It starts building up expectations but the second half of the movie feels like a drag.

Most of the scenes are in dark making it difficult to understand what's going on, the story goes from being great, to mediocre and finally a joke. There is so much confusion that it's difficult to focus on the plot (if that exists at that point) and understand what's going on.

The last minutes were watched on fast forward because I just wanted it to be over.

For what started as something that will haunt me for a while, ended up as a movie I would forget about as soon as it finished.

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.
