Sijjin

I do not understand what the director wishes to achieve through this adaption. Are you implying that one should not pray because it's not going to help them from evil doings? Because that's exactly what you are doing, ever since the released of Makmun series. You are putting fear into people that if they perform their prayer alone, they might as well have this particular evil praying with them too. Even if this exists, do you have to make a big deal out of this? By spreading more fear than encouraging them to actually praying? Shame on the director who thinks this is a masterpiece. Because no.

"Sijjin" unfortunately did not resonate with me. As a Muslim, I found several aspects of the film deeply problematic.

Firstly, the poster itself felt off-putting, with imagery that leaned heavily into dark and ominous vibes. It didn't entice me to delve deeper, instead raising concerns about the film's potential disrespect for my faith.

Secondly, the inclusion of black magic as a central theme was a major turn-off. Black magic is strictly forbidden in Islam, and its portrayal in the film felt exploitative and sensationalized. This not only felt disrespectful but also inaccurate, failing to represent the true essence of Islamic beliefs and practices.

While I cannot speak for everyone, I believe "Sijjin" missed the mark in its handling of sensitive religious themes. It would have benefited greatly from a more nuanced and respectful approach to Islam, both visually and narratively.

First of all the movie was very good It is also a source of pride that it is based on a Turkish horror series called Siccin. Turkish horror movies are usually shot on djinn anyway For him, the movie is scary because it is close to the Turkish movie. A movie full of sensible and beautiful actorsEverything is perfect, changing some scenes makes sense. There was a lot of sadness and drama too Be sure to watch the movie it's really good from start to finish.

I liked it as much as the movie Siccin It's not a waste of time. A breathtaking film from start to finish.

I wonder if there will be a sequel.

Maybe this time I give a little appreciation to the writer of this film, this one writer previously made a story for a film that I have despised.

But in this film I was made a little complicated to judge, you could say this film was worthy and the rest was not worthy.

Unexpected jumpscares and visual effects that deserve appreciation, in this film the audience is made afraid of every scene of the film set at night.

Although the plot of the ending can be a little predictable, but the tension and good visuals make me a little happy.

Maybe if the plot of this film was unpredictable I would give it a 7 but the predictable storyline made me change my mind.

6/10 is the right score.

Sijjin is the Indonesian adaptation of the famous Turkish horror film Siccîn. The movie successfully delivers a chilling atmosphere with a strong local cultural approach. Its dark cinematography and eerie ambiance enhance the tension, while the unsettling sound design intensifies the horror in every scene. The actors deliver convincing performances, effectively portraying the fear and emotions of facing supernatural terror.

However, while the atmosphere is well-crafted, the storyline at times feels a bit rushed. Some of the horror elements may seem familiar to seasoned horror fans, making certain moments predictable. Despite this, Sijjin still offers a terrifying experience worth watching, especially for fans of local horror. With solid production and a culturally rich narrative, this adaptation is a commendable effort in the genre.
