KKN di Desa Penari

I'll give the director and the FX team some credit, It brought the movie alive in its already almost boring state of horror. To be honest? It isn't one of the greatest, it isn't one of the worst either.

The culture represented is almost near spot on, the acting of the cast did the best of what they could, the comedy for me as on point as it got a few laughs in theatre. I looked more after the parts where the cast had conversations more then the horror to open up the actual plot. The tension was lackluster, the horror wasn't terrifying or incredibly bad, just lackluster and missing a lot of elements that make something scary.

Overhyped movie with bad storytelling, sound just okay (but annoying) , the actors was so-so and meh, I don't know why Indonesian People love this movie.

Personally my rating is : 5.5/10

Just watch some phenomenal movie in Indonesia, I didn't expect much about this movie cause a lot people say it's not good. But it's kinda true cause I don't get it why they got attack by Dawuh like why they got dream about Dawuh, but in the twitter threat they explain much better than in the movie. The visual it's look good tho and when Ayu dance it was super cool, and the sound mixing too that was super great cause they use Dolby Atmos. The Cinematography it just basic no something woah, like there's one scene they just capture the scene like just put the camera in some higher place, but the angle it's not good. I really love the transition from night to morning, the transition was in the tree front of their house like the left side was night and the right side is morning it was super cool, and the custome design was good too.

I like the kkn story from twitter which makes me curious. But when made into a film this is not so interesting the film relies too much on jumpscare which is very excessive, I don't even understand if this is about students or the ghosts in the village, but at least the Javanese language is presented very well.

Adapting books (or in this case a Twitter thread), especially the popular ones, into a film can be tricky. The urge to satisfy the fans can lead to a dissatisfying result. KKN Di Desa Penari falls in this category. Instead of making a tighter plot point, the film tends to adapt its source material in a literal manner. As a result, the film suffers from an overlong narrative and somewhat wanders aimlessly for most of its runtime. Still enjoyable, but could be better.
