As an indonesian myself, this was one of the few horror movies i was waiting for mainly because our group was going to deciding what movie to choose, and i saw this one which seemed very interesting... buuut they watched another one called "Munkar (2024)" and it seemed very bland and made by Anggy Umbara... no thanks, so i didn't watched the movie with them lol
Now since it was finally released in Netflix, i decided to check it out and... MANNN this really had a potential to be a fun gory movie :(((
The first problem i saw was the storyline, where we we're introduced to MANY characters that some i thought we're going to be important... but they weren't explored anymore and just used as a kill count later on
The first act i thought was fine enough (though there was a few cheap useless cliche jumpscares that had no build up, just BOOM a burned guy while the character is literally doing anything else but focusing on the ghost. Hoping the audience attention span won't fall asleep)
The best part of the movie was definitely the second act for me, when the carrieges started seperating i was really getting into it, and the two main characters drama was getting quite ok enough where i care for them, and then the action scenes keeps happening, what is happening and ohh so MANY bloody kill counts i must say that are VERY cool to watch...
Aaand the thing that really hurt the movie, was the third act... i can't really spoil it much but the entire act threevwas NOT in a train anymore and MAN it was really dissapointing with how it turned out. I will admit though the CGI for the third act looks very good for an indonesian which is GREAT for indonesia's industry where we can finally improve... but sadly that doesn't save with how dissapointed i was with the ending
I honestly really think that if they rewrote the entire act three to be still on the train, would be atleast make it more satisfying atleast.
I give this a 4.5/10, Now i get why people say Rizal Mantovani has questionable storylines in his movies, but the way he directs the kill counts is REALLY good though... sad it was almost forgotten by the horrible ending.
