Qodrat

Qodrat (2022) is an Indonesian horror film that masterfully blends exorcism with strong religious elements. Directed by Charles Gozali, the movie successfully creates a tense atmosphere through dark cinematography and chilling sound effects. Vino G. Bastian delivers an outstanding performance as a cleric who must confront an evil force terrorizing a village.

One of the film's strengths lies in its storytelling, which goes beyond mere horror and incorporates deep emotional layers. The main character is well-developed, allowing the audience to connect with his struggles. The exorcism scenes are executed effectively, building suspense without relying too heavily on jump scares.

The film also excels in visual effects and makeup, making the supernatural elements feel more realistic. The eerie background score enhances the tension throughout the movie.

However, Qodrat has a few weaknesses, such as some predictable horror tropes. Despite this, the film remains engaging, offering a unique experience with its religious undertones.

With strong performances, compelling cinematography, and effective horror elements, Qodrat earns a solid 8/10, cementing its place as a high-quality Indonesian horror film.

First of all, i never saw this much of action scenes in any horror film. The action scenes and the cinematography was great. For some moment i forgot that i was watching a horror film not a martial art film. The horror scenes were scary enough. But the i could not digest the action and horror and religion together. The storytelling was flawed. There were loopholes. But the film promises to have them cleared in the second Quodrat film. I wonder who would wait for that film. I laughted my lungs out after watching the ending. You can watch the film with freinds and cousins. It's a new kind of cinema.

This film deserves a higher rating.

Great special effects.

Great cinematography.

Great story.

Great action.

Great scares.

It was a brilliant film to watch. I'm not even Indonesian. But I am Muslim. And I do like Indonesian horror. And this film is right up there with the best... In my top 3 indonesian horrors. Definitely.

It has it all.

Scenes that make you scared, scenes that make you smile. Scenes that make you angry with what you're witnessing and Scenes that make you cry. It really does dig up emotions and you feel for the characters. Feel their pain and their happiness.

It looked really good too. It probably has a higher budget in guessing but I haven't checked. Makeup was brilliant. So we're the special effects.

It was a pleasure to watch. And I will be recommending it to my friends and family.

I don't watch many Indo horror film and it was pretty damn scary to me. It was basic and slow at start but it picked it pace quickly.

The fighting scenes were really on a different level. The sudden random martial art reminded me of IP man or any other martial art movie (lol) but in a very good way of course.

Loved the acting, place and the thrill it brought. One thing I specially loved was the relevance in islamic context. The reality of possession and how to deal with such being was very spot on.

There were times I had goosebumps. I enjoyed the story. Even though I loved the movie, the ending was very basic .

BUT REST ASSURED, THIS MOVIE WILL DEFINITELY GIVE YOU THE HORROR YOU WANT. (you can watch it with family)

First of all, it's a terrible film because it's completely confusing whether it's an action movie or a horror. The character development is a BIG ZERO, and the storyline is nothing special, honestly, you'll get bored. Sure, you might enjoy it if you haven't seen any good horror movies, but it's nowhere near the level of others in the genre.

I know it deserves more than 1 star because no movie is that bad every film has something good, even if I didn't like it. But I'm giving it 1 star because how on earth does it have more than 6 stars? Come on, it's below 3 for sure.

Watch it if you want to waste your time. It completely ruined our movie night. It's pure garbage.
