Very well executed

Sadly Over-hyped

Am I Missing Something?

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Just because people gave this film a low score doesn't mean they are incompetent. This film received a low score for a reason. I finished this film and I give it as such for couple of reasons. One is the story. it started off well where the main character with no memory is stuck in the forest. The tension in the first 30 minutes of the film was superb. Not knowing what's going to happen adds a great deal of mystery and suspense. I wish the writer or director would maintain the atmosphere throughout the movie. It died down as soon as the two kids were introduced. As the story progresses somewhere in the hour mark made it looked like it was ending when there was 20 minutes left in the film. I don't want to give too much off the story away but overall it didn't make any sense and the twist at the end was a cop out. No payoff whatsoever and I bet people who praised this film only because of the twist ending. I have to disagree because when your story does not have a definitive explanation as to why the events are happening or for what purpose then there's no reason why it shouldn't sense. I don't expect the film to spoon feed the audience but at least have a reasonable script. That goes double with the twist ending. In addition to this, there was a lot of plot holes. The acting was terrible. Even though the actors' native language is not English, there is no excuse for that. At least give some effort to the characters. On top of that the dialog was terrible as well. The special effects on the blood was decent nothing special. A negative point was the vomiting scene which was poorly made. The cgi was awful even for a low budget film. I've seen low budget films that didn't have poorly done special effects.The music was pretty good. There was ominous music though I wish they didn't overplay during the chase scenes. The first 30 minutes proved this by having silent moments to add the tension. Camera work was wonky at times. it didn't really bother me. Overall this film was a massive letdown. I was into the story for about 30 minutes of it. Although it went downhill after that I was still interested on how is it that the rest of the story turn out. About the hour mark is when I was disappointed and kind of mad. The twist would have worked if it makes sense but even if it did then what was the purpose of the events unfolding. I give this film a two out of five simply because I enjoyed the tension and mystery part of the film and I wasn't entirely bored throughout the film.

Actually you might just have done that. Or not, but maybe you have to watch this to be able to forget about it. As another reviewer writes, this movie will be made or break even further with the reveal towards the ending. I thought it wasn't as clever as it was trying to be, it was annoying as hell though. If the main character thinks he's disorientated, you can only imagine what goes on in the mind of the viewer of this movie throughout.While it's always fresh to see new takes, it also needs actors and a script to support that weight. Without those a good idea will be smashed very easily. Something that is the case with this movie right here, which is very unfortunate

Started watching this film with very high expectations. i could not have been more disappointed. As for the twist in the end it does not make any sense whatsoever and throughout the film the actions of the lead character are beyond stupid(when you watch this movie you will understand. I am shocked to see that people have rated this fairly high when i would give it a maximum of 4. If you agree with this review after watching please comment, many thanks, hope you enjoy this awful movie as i certainly did not. Like i said the film does start off with some potential but as the film progresses it goes dramatically down hill. You can also tell from this movie that the acting is very bad and that they should have made it in the original language instead of the cast speaking English, very silly if you ask me..

At first, after seeing the trailer, I was like a little bit not surprised about the genre, thriller, or let's say noir movie. As we know that Anwar's two recent movies took the same genre (Dead Time : Kala (2007) and The Forbidden Door (2009)). But as always, Anwar succeed to made me interested.Well, this is sort of movie which thriller fans will enjoy and I am on of the fan. It was a great experience watching this movie. You'll get a very tensed atmosphere which supported by astounding shooting angle. It is also supported by the score which wasn't excessive, like another typical thriller movie, and still precise.The actors was quite awesome particularly Rio Dewanto as the leading role. His expression was quite convincing.The negatives about this movie is a little bit seam computer graphic at one scene. Yeah, just one scene. Also, considering that the actors are all Indonesians and this movie uses English as the language, stiff conversations frequently emerged though their pronunciations was very good.All could I say, I am proud as Indonesians! Joko Anwar has made such a good movie in the middle of those crappy-cheesy-cheap horror movies invasion in Indonesia. I'm moved how a few Indonesian film-makers still try to raise the Indonesia film towards a better future.
