10/10
a gripping horror movie with score of 10/10
15 October 2023
Director, Bobby Prasetyo succeeded in building an aura of fear step by step, making the audience feel at home until the end of the film.

The emphasis will be on the appearance of Pocong who often shows himself in front of them, because it violates the customs that apply in the village. It's an interesting thing.

Customs and traditions are emphasized again neatly and do not feel like mere tacks on.

For the current generation who have slowly left this behind, it seems like a reminder but not patronizing.

Pamali can show the simplicity of local community traditions without having to use flashy methods.

Just by setting the characters, the typical dialect of the local village figures, typical objects and traditional beliefs which are the focus of the story, Pamali can give a Sundanese feel without forgetting the horror side.

One of them is the coconut shell which can immediately change the expression on Cecep's face from cheerful to depressed and how he and the locksmith try their best not to mention the tragedy in the house.

The scene is really a great way to depict the local people who are afraid when their traditional beliefs are disturbed.
