Kafir: Bersekutu dengan Setan

Well, in fact, there's not much good Indonesian movie reboots these days, mostly are bad. Only the horror ones turned out successfully, and this movie is one of it. though not perfect because some of it scenes just don't make sense, the action of some of the characters get a little bit forced, and the transition between scenes at the beginning of the movie goes too fast, it was all soon covered by a good visual and practical effect, simple yet understandable storyline, setting, scoring, and cinematography with the accurate portrayal of local nuance of the last 20th century's Indonesia. For that, 7/10 is what I give for this movie, but even by Hollywood standards, it's already good enough (and there's still so much room to grow in order to make a better movie, not just horror).

This movie is great, actually. The acting is amazing, with great (although not too complex, possibly to get the more mysterious vibe) characterization. All of them, especially Putri Ayudya, she deserves Piala Citra of her own. Her change of character, her change of voice, her change of look, it's just the best I have ever seen in Indonesian horror for a long time. The cinematography is also beautiful; every scene is good looking (too dark, perhaps, but it still supports the tone of teh whole movie). The plot of this movie is constructed neatly and systematically; it's hard to not lose focus. The aura surrounding this movie is gripping and mysterious, which gets me excited and scared at the same time. That is why it's so hard to see when this movie gets into its final act, it failed spectacularly. This movie got predictable pretty quickly, and seemed too rushed. and the twist isn't that good either. That basement scene is a treat to see on screen, but it's not very convincing and I blamed the director for the failed execution. It leaves me with a "meh". At the end, I appreciated this movie for trying to be different, but I knew this movie could be better.

I enjoy watching horror movies from Indonesia. They are making great horror movies over there. Kafir: Bersekutu dengan Setan is definitely without exception. Great storyline coupled with great cinematography & great acting make this an excellent one to watch.

Definitely worth watching. Recommended.

I really like the cinematography of this film good color tone and give a good impression in the eyes of the audience acting the players especially the mother, very good and convincing we will feel scared even though the ghost of this film hasn't appeared yet

unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with some of the effects

overall, this film is good even though it can't be as powerful as satan's slave

Good story line, nice cinematography. Every single scene make me feels so curious what happen next. Good job. Even better than the recent horror flicks.
