Good story, atmosphere, special effects...
loved it super creepy.
Phenomenal. Riveting from start to finish. Stop reading go watch it NOW!!
Three men who grew up in a rural orphanage, along with their significant others and children, return to said orphanage to say goodbye to the dying man who ran the place. Of course there's a story of demons and curses that one of the orphans tells to frighten a little boy--but the truth of the orphanage, the dying man, and the three men are linked in a way that brings terrible retribution to every person in the film (whether they were involved in nefarious goings-on at the orphanage or not). Good special effects make for some cringe-worthy moments, and as this film really gets going it tosses in a little bit of everything for a bat-shit crazy, off-the-rails climax. And since it's Indonesian you know there are centipedes aplenty! Definitely worth watching!
As cool as it sounds.
