May the Devil Take You

Damn scary as i thought! Watched it on netflix alone and i felt it really very scary! I wished i shouldn't have been watching it alone! Alot of frightening parts! Hence its a good flick for a horror lovers! Worth giving it a try!

We can clearly see Pengabdi Setan's influence on this year's horror Indonesian movies, and this movie is no exception. But unfortunately, it also bring about of its problems. But unlike Pengabdi Setan, the acting of some of the actors and actress in this movie fell quiet flat (oh and their reactions and actions to solve the problems at hand don't quiet make sense) and so did the dialogues. The plot and some of the scary scenes, I think, got a little bit forced just to make us jump off our seats. despite all that, 'Sebelum Iblis Menjemput' is one of so few Indonesian movies (horror movies to be precise) that I appreciate for its shots, pictures, cinematography, practical and special effect (well not all of them), the entirety of its storyline, jumpscares, and tensions which resulted from the director's bold move in incorporating some of the elements from Hollywood's best horror flicks into it (and to differentiate itself from the dull and mediocre Indonesian movies).

The audience is not afraid because of the visual appearance or plot, but just "surprised". The film only shows evil characters with a creepy appearance, and only to make the audience surprised by displaying it suddenly on the screen with sound and music as loud as possible. Even the characters seem very slow in speaking.

I was told, disturbing and gory so I had to search for this Indonesian flick. Simple, it's on Netflix. Seen it I have to agree that some shots are gory.

Starts a bit slowly with a great start after 30 minutes I thought is this it and just when I thought to stop this flick slowly the eerie atmosphere comes in. And once the possession is out there this turns into a rather good horror.

Disturbing, not for me but i do understand that the creepy possessed people can be to much for some. One shot is indeed full of gore and well done.

Above mediocre but not one that will stuck to mymind, still if you like them dark and scary, watch it.

It's the Indonesian Evil Dead. Great directing & really terrifying visuals. Some of the shots were amazing. But could have been so much more if there was a good story to it. Another case of a script that goes no where. Still, had fun watching.
