Keramat 2: Caruban Larang (2022)

6/10

Tolerable 2022 mockumentary film with decent sequel

mryumonium28 November 2022

Here, we're introduced with another mockumentary; found footage like movie.

The introduction of this movie is serendipitous and fairly unique. I thought it was an ad/trailer of a movie but it turns out to litteraly be the introduction of this movie.

Halfway throughout the movie, tension starts to build up with the help of abrupt jumpscares and fights between the Casts/Actors. This also adds a little "realism" into the atmosphere of this mockumentary.

The ending of the movie is sorrowful and quiet disappointing. It could've been way better if the Director (Monty Tiwa) puts a little more effort for the rest of this movie.

In conclusion, this is fairly decent for a 2022 mockumentary movie. The delivery is on point and the details are acceptable.

I would highly reccomend to watch the first Keramat then watch this Keramat 2 after.

Influencers are not Actors!!!

StephenChains30 March 2023

The story is predictable and rather boring, what makes it even worse is that the actors are not good at acting. The Indonesian movie Industry always has a bad habit where they choose uprising influencers to be an actor in a movie, whether they are bad at acting. I wonder if they do an audition at all.

The concept is unique, but they messed up with the actors and the ending, which is highly disappointing. They could have made a better movie if they used real actors instead of influencers who do Tiktok and take Instagram pictures daily. A good movie isn't based on how famous the actors are; it is good because they have a solid story and good acting skills.

Staring at the ceiling for 2 hours is more interesting than this movie

czerodragon15 January 2023

I don't even know where to start from. Everything about this movie is pathetic, right from the start to the end! Looks like some school kid just took his phone camera and made this movie to have fun. I tried really hard to like at least something about the movie, but I failed. There's no plot, the actors are all horrible. If you're reading this review, then I can assure you that even you can make a better movie than this one. It is that bad!

You will definitely leave the theater with a headache after watching this movie.

Surprisingly entertaining

Warning: Spoilers

I wasn't expecting much knowing that I'm about to watch an Indonesian horror film. Certain predictable expectation... mostly jump scares and storyline that doesn't really make sense. But this was something fresh, something more creative. I actually enjoyed this film more than a lot of other Indonesian horror films. Although, I felt that this isn't much of a horror film but more of a mystical / magical storyline that made me felt really curious about the lost dance. Unfortunately, it didn't really show the moves. Some really good cast as well. I especially like Ute character... she's such a good actor.

If i have a brain for every good scene in this movie, i have no brain

ordonsirodon27 April 2023

Watching this film is like testing your brain's ability to think, then you realize that it turns out that you don't need a brain to watch this kind of trash film. His acting is abysmal. Trash story. The logic is used. Ride on the name of the prequel in order to succeed. There are as many plot holes as the acne scars on my face. The only good thing about this film is that it makes a number of immoral people gather in one studio to watch which in the end leaves little oxygen for at least 1 hour more outside. I'm grateful that I don't go to the cinema, wasting money on bad movie tickets is a waste of my wallet. I watched it on netflix, even then I was forced!
