Qodrat

Indonesia do too much horror movie, until we know already what will happen next. The different that Qodrat offer is the fighting scene, out of nowhere suddenly Qodrat perform martial art like what you saw in The Raid Redemption or Night Come For Us. Other than that, it is all regular possessed scene, countless jumpscare and everything you ever know from indonesian horror. All the cast did their best, especially the actress. The cinematography is beautiful, some remote hometown at seaside. There is till 100 word to fill, who come up with this required characters, I have no idea what to write, oh yeah, this movie is quite scary, even though its cliche, its still scary. Enjoy.

This film deserves a higher rating.

Great special effects.

Great cinematography.

Great story.

Great action.

Great scares.

It was a brilliant film to watch. I'm not even Indonesian. But I am Muslim. And I do like Indonesian horror. And this film is right up there with the best... In my top 3 indonesian horrors. Definitely.

It has it all.

Scenes that make you scared, scenes that make you smile. Scenes that make you angry with what you're witnessing and Scenes that make you cry. It really does dig up emotions and you feel for the characters. Feel their pain and their happiness.

It looked really good too. It probably has a higher budget in guessing but I haven't checked. Makeup was brilliant. So we're the special effects.

It was a pleasure to watch. And I will be recommending it to my friends and family.

Qodrat (2022) is an Indonesian horror film that masterfully blends exorcism with strong religious elements. Directed by Charles Gozali, the movie successfully creates a tense atmosphere through dark cinematography and chilling sound effects. Vino G. Bastian delivers an outstanding performance as a cleric who must confront an evil force terrorizing a village.

One of the film's strengths lies in its storytelling, which goes beyond mere horror and incorporates deep emotional layers. The main character is well-developed, allowing the audience to connect with his struggles. The exorcism scenes are executed effectively, building suspense without relying too heavily on jump scares.

The film also excels in visual effects and makeup, making the supernatural elements feel more realistic. The eerie background score enhances the tension throughout the movie.

However, Qodrat has a few weaknesses, such as some predictable horror tropes. Despite this, the film remains engaging, offering a unique experience with its religious undertones.

With strong performances, compelling cinematography, and effective horror elements, Qodrat earns a solid 8/10, cementing its place as a high-quality Indonesian horror film.

What is happening with asian movies? Nothing original anymore. The plot, the acting, the make up, even the music seemed to be plainly plagiarised from the western horror movies such as 'the nun', 'exorcism of god' and 'the exorcist'. The only difference, it was fitted with things familiar in Islam such as 'syahadah' & of course, verses from Quran to make the movie looks 'asian' or 'islamic'.

I'll watch the movie if it was played free... But don't expect me to go to cinema and spent several bucks on the movie.

Acting was good i guess. But Qodrat appearance as an ustadz was not appealing. Overall i give this movie a score of 5.

If you're tired of the same old Indonesian horror filled with jump scares and ghost sightings, this film is a breath of fresh air. Those giving it low ratings are probably fans of lighter horror like horror comedies or rely too much on ghost sightings. But horror can come in many forms-including action horror-and this film proves it. Think Constantine, Dracula, or Hollywood-style zombie flicks: full of actions, intense, and entertaining.

The main character's background isn't fully explained, but not every story needs to start from zero and wrap up every detail. In fact, the mystery has potential to make another movie, and it turns out this film already has a sequel-so the unanswered questions can be explained later.

The storyline also feels more logical. For example, when a death occurs, there are legal consequences like imprisonment.

Possession scenes are handled thoughtfully, too. No need for dramatic ghost appearances-just the idea of a jinn (an invisible being) taking over a body is already disturbing. No need ghost visuals that ruin the tension.

In short, if you're looking for a horror film that's not typical, give this one a shot. It may not be perfect, but it's bold enough to break the formula-and that alone is worth watching.
