Do You See What I See

Recently I started watching indonesian horror movies and they are really good!! This is movie is based on a podcast and it is really hard to make a movie based on a podcast so a big salute for that! And talking about overall movie technically than the I loved the lighting and cinematography of the movie the way they have shot the movie in low lighting and giving the realistic experience to the audience. The camera angles was best I really enjoyed watching the movie. Sound plays a important role in horror movie and the makers of this film has done a great job in the sound part too... Really nice work!!

Well it's a decent story execution was not good, the thing is movie lacks that connection with characters which it didn't develop which is why you don't feel what's meant to be shown. Lack of impact due to poor execution and story telling. You can watch once if you are bored. Acting was not great either.. i mean they tried but the role of younger sister i mean the actor couldn't act well. The boyfriend was just there nothing much just for plot reason, had to be useful once with nonsense relationship triangle again no impact or sense. Overall movie lacked the connection and very poor execution, you won't miss much if you skipped it.

After that, it resorted to the SOS different day routine of having the protagonists doing utterly asinine and stupid stuff for no apparent reason.

The psychic had already laid out what needed to be done, yet we have to watch various acts of gross stupidity. Plus I still don't get the idea of turtle walking as a means of building suspense. Or it could be a means of padding the run time, but either way I find it extremely annoying.

Another pet peeve would be characters who cannot communicate, stand around looking stupid staring at each other instead of telling the other person what's going on. Sure in the moment of fright one would imagine shock holding a person's tongue in place.

It just that every movie uses the same dumb recipe, that takes the predictability facture to a whole new level. The only redeeming factor left would be the end, so it wasn't the usual cheese fest happy ending.

Good for a onetime viewing, but I cannot see this as something I would ever watch again.

In relation to how most horror movies are rated on IMDB, I would have expected this movie to have an average rating between 6 and 7. Its a well made solid movie. The only issue is that it can get slow at times but overally keeps a decent pace with plenty of actual horror scenes which are quite scary and creepy. There are so many much slower and boring horror movies rated higher than this. This is actually an entertaining movie. Characters and their interactions are quite realistic and believable as well and each actor has done justice with their respective characters. Story is not too deep or complicated but it serves its purpose. All the special and visual effects were also done well for the most part. I am not a big fan of how the movie ended though. But that is a highly subjective take, some will probably like the ending.

In the end, its a decent one time watch movie for horror fans who want to watch a movie which is a straight up horror movie and NOT some metaphorical movie about trauma. Casual fans might find some scenes to be too scary though. Indonesia has become World's Horror movie capital in my opinion and this movie just adds to that.

The story about a woman who is dating a ghost is interesting, whether using the perspective of the woman, or her friends. The movie uses her friends perspective, so we can see some interesting things like when her friends suspecting whether her boyfriend is a good man or not, or whether her boyfriend is human or not. And of course when her friends are haunted by the ghost. It's an interesting story and surprisingly well executed. However, I think this film needs to deepen the story, especially in the cause of the core incident to add more scary element to the film. Also, the main character's acting still feels a bit stiff. Lastly, I am very satisfied with the ending chosen.
