How do you escape a family legacy when it’s ingrained inside you - literally? This is what Maya wants to find out after a close encounter with death leaves her with questions about the parents she never knew and what they potentially left behind. Accompanied by her best friend, Dini, she ventures to the remote village where she lived as a young child. Immediately, they observe strange phenomena; most noticeably, there aren’t any children around. As they peel back the layers of the village’s secretive facade, they find themselves at the center of a story that transcends life and death. (Sundance Film Festival)

Koncentráltan elmesélt horrordráma, egzotikus távoli indonéz falu és környékének attraktív díszletei között, a benne élő közösség átkának titokzatos hangulatával, és sok olyan kemény jelenettel, amelyet Hollywood nem engedhet meg magának. Tara Basro a főszerepben nem csak csinos, de méltó vonzereje a játékfilmnek. Az indonézek eléggé meglepnek, tudnak cselekményközpontú, formailag szép és karakterközpontú filmeket készíteni. A finálé talán túlzásba viszi néhány szereplő reakcióját, de nem annyira, hogy az összképet elrontaná.

This Indonesian film had such huge logic holes that elephants or heavy machinery could easily fall through them, yet paradoxically, I enjoyed the events set in a village somewhere in the middle of a jungle. Actually, I was entertained right from the start, when the conversations between Maya and Dini reminded me of firing from MG 42s (the girls’ barrels not overheating even for a second). Unlike America's constantly repeated vain attempts at making a horror movie, here, I came across a very unsettling atmosphere, and a high-quality theme. If it hadn't been for the seriously flawed logic, this could have been a real treat.

The acclaimed Joko Anwar notches up his fourth horror film in his career and once again garners rave reviews and praise from critics. I personally was expecting a bit more, but looking back over the last month, this is definitely the best and most interesting of all the horror films that have come out. The protagonist and her friend head to her home village after 20 years thinking she might have inherited a fortune from her parents, but instead they are in for a fight for their lives, as there is already a long standing curse in the village linked to her family. I really liked the opening sequence, where the tension could be cut, and the scenes where children are executed are interesting even if not explicit, so it definitely has its atmosphere. There are a few throats slit and also skinning. The film may not be very scary, and the gore is spared too, but it has a very special surreal atmosphere as well as a fairly engaging story, nice cinematography and a well built mythology. I probably won't go back to it, but this film definitely has its qualities and is worth a look. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence***, Entertainment***, Music***, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense***. 7/10.
