Well, Im a big fan of Jelangkung (2001) movie. This movie, Jailangkung (2017) is terrible. Totally and utterly bad acting, Bad script and Bad Narrative.

Bella (Amanda Rawles), call "Bapak" to Wardana at the first and changes to "Om" after. Rama (Jefry Nicol), call Angel without Kak at the first (when enter house in Alas Kramat) and then changes to Kak Angel. Its impossible the clothes they wear in Alas Kramat island suddenly dry, but the rain just came in previous scene.

The film just as bad as you can expect. The acting, the script, and the narrative just awful. There's no entertaining from this movie. The big budget wasted. I don' t care the promotion that calls 2 million people watching this movie, but personally i can call this one of the worst movie. Wasting my time. I hope more from Rizal Mantovani but it disappointment. Even there's nothing jump scare scene in this movie. I love the 1st film but ended with this garbage.

A very big disappointment. I was deceived by the trailer. The whole movie was a joke. I stayed inside the cinema just for mocking the movie. the acting was weird (PLEASE DO CASTING SERIOUSLY. DON'T JUST TAKE ANY POPULAR ACTOR OR ACTRESS THAT HAPPENING) AND THE PLOT WAS MAKING ME REALLY ANGRY AND LAUGH AT THE SAME TIME. TO SUM UP ABOUT THIS MOVIE: IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BAD. Sorry for the caps lock. I just can't contain my anger.

A stupid movie I've ever seen. Seriously script writer, sharpen your imagination PLEASE dong. Seram nya biar harus ada logika deh. DISAPPOINTED !

Jailangkung is an Indonesian horror film that attempts to revive the eerie legend of a spirit-summoning doll deeply rooted in local folklore. Directed by Jose Poernomo and Rizal Mantovani, the film delivers a chilling atmosphere supported by modern cinematography.

The film's strongest point lies in its ability to build tension from start to finish. Several jumpscare moments are effectively executed, and the selection of haunting locations enhances the traditional horror ambiance it aims to portray. Indonesian mystical elements are nicely incorporated through rituals and cultural settings.

However, the film falls short in character development. Some supporting characters appear merely as plot devices, lacking clear backstories or motivations. Additionally, the storyline sometimes feels forced, with certain plot progressions moving too quickly.

Overall, Jailangkung remains an appealing watch for horror enthusiasts, especially for audiences drawn to Indonesia's urban legends. The film successfully brings back the nostalgia of classic horror vibes, even though it still has room to improve in its scriptwriting aspect.

I have yet to watch his film anyway but from its trailer fair there his horror. not like a lunkhead era film Indonesian in shows Sexy body only. I want to support the movie horror, if possible in make more spooky again and the way a good story ... i hope indonesian movie goes to international and hope the story will good
