    Fun little experience

    First off let me say, the only reason I watched this was because I found it when I was searching for the english kids series ghostwriter and stumbled onto this, I thought they had made a movie and started watching it before I realized this was not related to that at all. Having said that, for some reason I found myself continuing to watch the movie all the way to the end and found it a fun and enjoyable little experience.

    Let me add that even though the genre says horror this is more of a comedy movie than a horror one, there are a couple of jump scares and a few creepy moments at the very beginning but it quickly passes and turns into a completely funny movie. I had no problem with this but for anyone looking for a scary/horror experience this is definitely not it.

    Tl;dr this was a fun little comedy that is enjoyable if you don't want to think too much and just want to chill and watch something.

    A Clever Blend of Horror, Humor, and Heart

    Ghost Writer is one of the finest Indonesian horror comedies in recent years, and I personally would give it a solid 10 out of 10. The film offers a refreshing take amidst the typical horror formula often found in local cinema. Directed by Bene Dion Rajagukguk, Ghost Writer cleverly blends chilling horror, lighthearted humor, and heartwarming family drama in a way that feels seamless and genuinely entertaining.

    The storytelling flows naturally, keeping the audience curious without feeling forced to be scared. The eerie atmosphere is well maintained but balanced with comedic moments that ease the tension perfectly. Tatjana Saphira shines as Naya, delivering a natural and engaging performance. The supporting cast - Deva Mahenra, Ernest Prakasa, and Endy Arfian - also contribute memorable characters that enhance the film's overall charm.

    One of the film's greatest strengths is its ability to deliver humor that feels well-timed and not excessive, while also offering meaningful messages about family and the courage to confront the past. The cinematography deserves praise as well, with clean visuals and a carefully crafted setting inside the old house that adds depth to the film's mysterious aura. The soundtrack and sound design effectively enhance the mood without overwhelming the scenes.

    Overall, Ghost Writer is a smart, entertaining, and heartwarming film. It proves that the horror genre in Indonesia can be more creative - not just relying on jumpscares and supernatural rituals, but also presenting a human side in a fresh and engaging way. It's a must-watch for fans of local films and those looking for a high-quality, light horror experience.
