Fortuna Maldita

This is a terrifying film. It doesn't pull its punches. It hits hard from the start. It has genuine moments of horror that is missing from most films these days that just rely on cheap jump scares with sudden loud noises and ghosts jumping from out of screen.

Having said that, it does not transcend the usual horror tropes with characters making bad mistakes and acting downright stupid at times. The brother character, in particular, is frustratingly stupid. The movie also suffers from poor acting by the child actor who just isn't convincing that she is frightened. Any human being would be terrified in the circumstances of the film but her expressions are just robotic and she does not seem to be in the same movie as the rest of the actors.

All in all I recommend this movie to all horror movie geeks a 100% but do not expect an exceptional film like the likes of Hereditary (2018) or IT (2017).

The audience is not afraid because of the visual appearance or plot, but just "surprised". The film only shows evil characters with a creepy appearance, and only to make the audience surprised by displaying it suddenly on the screen with sound and music as loud as possible. Even the characters seem very slow in speaking.

I was told, disturbing and gory so I had to search for this Indonesian flick. Simple, it's on Netflix. Seen it I have to agree that some shots are gory.

Starts a bit slowly with a great start after 30 minutes I thought is this it and just when I thought to stop this flick slowly the eerie atmosphere comes in. And once the possession is out there this turns into a rather good horror.

Disturbing, not for me but i do understand that the creepy possessed people can be to much for some. One shot is indeed full of gore and well done.

Above mediocre but not one that will stuck to mymind, still if you like them dark and scary, watch it.

I enjoyed this. I thought it had some genuinely creepy moments. The effects were ok. They weren't the best but they weren't really cheesy. I think that the story could've used a bit more attention. I know that a lot of horror snobs will try to knock this film off it's feet but my opinion is that this was worth the watch. If you are looking for blood, guts and gore this is not gonna leave you satisfied. This leans more towards possession, ritualistic, and creepy horror. I'm glad I gave it a chance.

This movie is a Pengabdi Setan (Satan's Slave) wannabe. You can clearly see how it tried so hard mimicking the success of Satan's Slave. The plot doen't make any sense. It is jump back between the past and the present via (somehow) time traveling or memory(?). The main character suffered too many blackouts without any explanation what is wrong with her. The director decided to add "thing" that has been his passion from all his movies: blood through cheap unnecessary gory scenes.
