Featured review
Got it! Here's a negative IMDb-style review that critiques Pabrik Gula for being too similar to KKN di Desa Penari, while still keeping a professional tone:
---
Title: A Copy-Paste Horror That Lacks Originality - Pabrik Gula Disappoints
If you've seen KKN di Desa Penari, then you've basically already seen Pabrik Gula - just with a different setting and weaker execution. Instead of offering a fresh take or new twist, the film leans heavily on overused horror tropes and familiar story beats, making it feel more like a lazy remake than a standalone film.
The plot follows the same predictable formula: a group of outsiders arrives in a remote location, strange supernatural events unfold, and local folklore becomes the source of terror. It's a structure that worked well once, but here it feels recycled and uninspired.
The scares are cheap, relying on loud sound effects and jump scares rather than atmosphere or real tension. The characters are one-dimensional, and the dialogue often feels like a rehash of lines we've heard before - almost like the script was written by referencing scenes from other movies.
Visually, the film doesn't do much to stand out either. The gloomy color grading and clichéd settings don't help create a memorable or eerie environment.
In the end, Pabrik Gula feels like it's riding the coattails of KKN di Desa Penari's success without bringing anything new to the table. It's derivative, forgettable, and ultimately, a waste of potential.
