slow plot

My expectations for this film were quite high, especially after knowing the line-up of actors involved. However, the execution of this film turned out to be less than satisfactory. The storyline feels very slow and less exciting, with almost no significant horror elements. The jumpscares shown are very few and less effective. The character development is also not in-depth, so the characters feel less strong and convincing. The inconsistencies in accent and character are also quite annoying. Apart from that, this film is also not able to convey emotions well, so that I as a viewer cannot feel an emotional attachment to the characters. The long duration of the film is also a problem because of the slow storyline and uninteresting pacing. As a result, this film feels very long and boring. I felt this film was not worth the time I spent watching it.

A Tale of possession, with a twist.

Sri is a young girl who responds to a job advert from the Atmojo family, who owns a series of restaurants. By accident (literally) she gets to meet the head of the family, Karsa Atmojo. After a short and weird interview, Sri gets the job, but she soon regrets it. Karsa performs a ritual to bound Sri to her until she has completed her task.

Sri, Erna and Dini (who has been working for the family for a while) are taken to a secluded hut in a forest, where they are to care for Karso's granddaughter, Dela. Dela is a victim of black magic, and is locked in a room in a possessed state. Every day before sunset, the girls have to follow a ritual which includes bathing Dela in water that has been infused with seven flowers. This is said to calm the demon which possesses her. If the ritual is not performed every day for a thousand days, Dela will be lost forever. Sri, Erna and Dini only has to do the last four days.

The make-up effects are creepy and I enjoyed the setting in the woods, which gave it an 'Evil Dead' kind of feeling. The film follows the characters during these last four days. Sri is plagued by nightmares, but it is revealed her nightmares in fact take her to the alternate universe where Dela is kept prisoner, and Sri must try to bring her back.

All is not what it seems, though, and there are surprises and twists until the finale. This was an interesting take on a familiar genre.
