Even though Indonesian horror is quite popular, and Islam is the predominant religion there, the combination of the two is quite rare. Qorin tries to change that, but it ends up a slow burn that never really catches fire. There's potential here, it's just that the film never gets quite as tense or thrilling as it's supposed to be.
The build-up is quite slow, but the bigger problem is that once the horror elements take root, the film never feels like a proper scare. The actors aren't too great, the effects are mediocre and there's nothing much original here. It's a pretty generic horror film, that only sets itself apart with its setting.
