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.

Indonesia do too much horror movie, until we know already what will happen next. The different that Qodrat offer is the fighting scene, out of nowhere suddenly Qodrat perform martial art like what you saw in The Raid Redemption or Night Come For Us. Other than that, it is all regular possessed scene, countless jumpscare and everything you ever know from indonesian horror. All the cast did their best, especially the actress. The cinematography is beautiful, some remote hometown at seaside. There is till 100 word to fill, who come up with this required characters, I have no idea what to write, oh yeah, this movie is quite scary, even though its cliche, its still scary. Enjoy.

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.

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.
