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!!

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.

Another Indonesian movie with a fantastic horror plot. Based on a horror podcast, the movie adaptation is simply superb and wi;l keep the audience hooked.

Although, I dont understand the language but the screenplay and story will keep your eyeballs stuck to the screen (Ofcourse you have to follow subtitles :) ) After a long I have come across such a unique plot in the horror genre. I will definitely recommend this one to watch out, if you are a fan of Horror movies.

You will also get to understand the Indonesian culture related to death rituals and bonding among the friends. The actors are also very good and the movie is a fresh one in this genre. So watch and enjoy :)

9 Stars from me.

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.

Mawar turns 20 and along with her best friends visits her parents' grave on her birthday. She feels lonely and yearns for a boyfriend to love her for who she is. In the graveyard, she chooses a boyfriend as her birthday wish and Mawar is granted that wish. Soon she starts behaving oddly as she starts giving more priority to her mysterious boyfriend Restu, which concerns her best friends and it doesn't take much time to realize, who this mysterious Restu is. Will they be able to save her friend from the toxic relationship she has got herself into, forms rest of the story.

This is one film which I treated mostly as a horror-comedy and it worked better that way for me, rather taking it seriously. More than the main character, the friends characters were more impactful. There are a couple of scenes involving the demon which is pulled off well. Though the film starts with a glimpse of a mysterious man digging a grave, the director circles back to it only in the penultimate scene only. Until then, the story revolved mostly among the girls with the stakes not too high considering the savior they turn to is another friend. The reveal in the end was predictable but as a film it definitely was a decent one time watch.
