Anwar's latest horror film is nothing you haven't seen before, but it's executed with enough enthusiasm and love for the genre to turn this into an enjoyable genre exercise. Indonesian horror cinema has been doing well for a while now, the only problem is that it has become a little too predictable.
There's some nifty gore on display, though most of the film relies on built-up tension. The cinematography is stylish, the performances are solid, and the score is on point. At nearly 120 minutes, the film's a tad long, but thanks to a pretty impressive finale, it never felt like it overstayed its welcome. Good fun.
