Plot
As dusk sets in, they shout vulgarities and curse one another during the sacred time of Maghrib, unknowingly inviting an ancient curse. Not long after, one of them becomes possessed, setting off a chain of chaotic, often confusing, supernatural events.
Cast and characters
The boys, Yogo (Sulthan Hamonangan), Dewo (Ghazi Alhabsyi) and the rest also carry their parts well. Scenes of them panicking in the forest, reacting to unseen terrors or fighting off possessions, they deliver believable fear and camaraderie. There is a sincerity in how the kids portray confusion and terror, which helps inject some authenticity into otherwise chaotic moments.
Pros & cons
However, where the film utterly fails is in narrative clarity and emotional depth. Plot points are introduced and discarded with little logic. Characters disappear without explanation. The mythos of Ummu Sibyan, which could have added rich lore, is barely explored and instead replaced with incoherent exposition dumps. Dialogue is stilted, and any attempt at message or meaning gets drowned in over-the-top acting and bizarre tonal shifts.
The editing is choppy at best. Transitions between scenes feel abrupt and unnatural, giving the whole film a student-project energy. Scenes that should carry emotional weight are cut short, while possession sequences drag on with slow-motion gimmicks and flashback filters. The musical score, however, does a decent job of elevating tension especially during quiet, suspenseful moments. Unfortunately, it is also overused to the point where even mundane conversations are laced with ominous chords.
This is not a good movie by any cinematic standard, but it is undeniably fun to watch with friends. It is the kind of film you laugh about after, even while clinging to your seat during its loud, chaotic moments. Best enjoyed in a cinema surrounded by equally confused viewers, it offers entertainment through shared gasps and giggles rather than genuine horror.
