The film suffers from very deprived horror clichés, especially in these jumpscares, which we see coming, except for a few rather well-made scenes. But the film is saved by its dark atmosphere, especially a cult and the revelations, which make the film very pleasant and surprising at certain times.
Very slow and brings nothing new to the table. Well acted though with a good twist ending
Well that movie was certainly scary
My first Joko Anwar and not a disappointment in the least. Tara Basro is brilliant and they downplay her beauty quite a bit her for her role as the responsible older sister in a large family that live together. Most of the movie plays out like a ghost story capitalizing on the eerie over the grotesque. Halfway through the Satanic plot unfolds and adds a web of conspiracy placing it closer to possession than haunting. There’s not a crazy amount of effects but what’s in there is used right. Had it been layered with practical effects it would’ve had an Evil Dead vibe; I was definitely detecting some Raimi inspiration in there.
Absolutely awesome film - definitely creepy and the sequel was fantastic as well.
