KERAMAT AND THE WRATH OF NATURE.

Image
  This found-footage horror movie is one of the best Indonesian horror movies. Not your typical cheap jump-scare, this movie would make your skin crawls and remind you that after all, we are not alone in this world. Spoiler ahead, the movie starts with a crew of filmmakers on their destination to make the movie. And for the sake of behind the scene documentation, all filming including the road trip recorded by the so-called behind the scene team or in short BTS team. Tension already arises at the beginning of the film, as the director aims for perfection because she wants it to be listed in festivals and there is slight hope for an award too because she is a perfectionist. The story then moved to a train station, while the crew is waiting for their train. But alas, the train gets delayed and they are late. The main actress, Migi, is sick during the trip and they finally arrived at Yogyakarta. While in the car, a strange man is yelling Migi’s father's name and it freaks them out. No

  The story begins in the middle of the desert, the dry land of the middle east, with some people digging around the archeological site. An old man found a little statue, on the site. He takes the statue and goes away from the digging site. As he walks, he found a much bigger statue, very similar to the little one in his hands. That statue was in fact a symbol of Pazuzu, the ancient demon. And then the story shifted to the city, focused on a house with a mother and her child. The mother is an actress, her name is Chris MacNeil and her daughter is Regan. Regan started to get sick and then said that she got a new friend, with name Captain Howdy. Her mother dismisses it as a kind of usual children's imagination but it’s gotten worse as time goes by. Regan started to lie, swear, and other changes. She used to be a sweet little girl but everything changed then. As Regan's condition got worse day by day, and no medical treatment is working, her mother desperately looked for help from

The Martyrs, an Experiment Of The Afterlife.

Martyrs movie poster. Martyr meaning witness was used in the secular sphere as well as in the New Testament of the Bible. The process of bearing witness was not intended to lead to the death of the witness, although it is known from ancient writers (e.g. Josephus) and from the New Testament that witnesses often died for their testimonies. During the early Christian centuries, the term acquired the extended meaning of believers who are called to witness for their religious belief, and on account of this witness, endure suffering or death. The term, in this later sense, entered the English language as a loanword. The death of a martyr or the value attributed to it is called martyrdom .   The martyr movie itself like the meaning mentioned above is full of suffering and torture in the process of becoming the Martyr. This movie is definitely not for faint hearts or people who are scared of blood because of the torture that is being done in this movie including starvation,

Coraline and The Fascinating Folklores of The Beldam

  Coraline Jones Summary: Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, Coraline (Dakota Fanning) discovers a hidden door to a fantasy version of her life. To stay in the fantasy, she must make a frighteningly real sacrifice. Synopsis & My review : (warning, might contain spoilers) Of course, Coraline has to be the first movie to be put on my review. This is the movie that is sitting on the top tier of my favorite movies. Everything from the storyline, the music score, and the art, it’s amazing and always makes me want to watch it all over again and you should too! This movie is worth to be watched repeatedly. Coraline is made from a stop motion animation that makes it more fascinating. The film’s opening is frightening enough with just skeletal or mechanical hands grabbing a doll that is falling from the sky and then re-made the doll into something new or someone new. After being sewn over, the doll looks exactly like the main character, Coraline. Coraline a
