Mangkujiwo

Even though the story is not perfect, the foundation to enter Kuntilanak universe quite make sense. Sujiwo Tedjo as Broto is most of the character make this film different. I don't say this horror film, this is thriller movie with covered by javanese culture which a lot of mystical ritual.

Rizal Mantovani started to build his version of Kuntilanak back then in 2006. Then he ruined it himself through his remake/reboot of 2018. Now I appreciate Azhar Kinoi Lubis in terms of his effort of the franchise with this remarkable spin-off/prequel vision. I found some plot holes indeed yet I don't mind to see the upcoming sequel if there's any for further explanation. I mean, not sure whether Mangkujiwo is more to 2006 or 2018 version one.

Awful, fail plot-twisted, i cannot enjoy the film. Thank you

Storyline is....horendous! the director is trying too hard to stitch the pieces together, and trying too hard to make twist; total flop!!

Another higher level for indonesian horror. Mangkujiwo shows us the origin of Kuntilanak, trying to answer all the question about 'what Mangkujiwo is' in the Kuntilanak universe from 2006 to 2019. Azhar Kinoi Lubis gives a story instead of a jumpscare-thing to a horror movie. This is what a real origin means.

Past to present to past and to present again. unfortunately, as an origin movie, Mangkujiwo failed to tell us about their world. There's lack of dramatical value, only torture everywhere. We have no feel to anybody, there's relationship between one character and another, the only we see is just hostilities, and rivalries.

Thats all.

You get the answer about 'what Mangkujiwo is'?
