Santet Segoro Pitu

Look I wasn't expecting the exorcist or the witch but damn the only good thing about this movie was the kills. The special effects were laughable. There was no chemistry with these actor's and the performances were bad. I hope I'm not cursed for having watched this movie. This movie I've had so much potential. It's not normally hard to follow a movie when trying to read the subtitles but this was def a challenge. Overall there were no good jump scares. The monster was tall but not intimidating at all. This movie failed at everything it was trying to do except the kills. This is 90 minutes of pure torture. Tim Treakle.

This movie is based on the old (or the original) Javanese culture pre-Islam. The depictions of various ghosts and curses are quite accurate despite some adjustments to cater for the bigger audience (not just Javanese).

The movie plot is centered around the hustle and bustle of life in a traditional wet market in Semarang, Central Java. Most javanese merchants believe that a certain kind of magic can be used as a tool to attract customers, but it always come with a price. This movie quite accurately depicts how the rituals are done according to the old ways.

Don't trust the negative reviews, as a native Javanese, this movie is the closest you get to understand the old Javanese supernatural world.
