Sabrina (Nessa Sadin) is a tough-as-nails scriptwriter, who moves into
an apparently haunted house just so she gets into the right mood to write
a horror script - and even though she's scared shitless by the resident
(female) spirit of the house, she writes her screenplay in record time.,
and later even makes sure that the film is shot at the very house she
wrote the whole thing at. At the house though, strange things start to
happen almost immediately ... and then cast and crew find the corpse of
Sabrina, who must have died over her laptop while writing the film. But
wait a little, then the Sabrina who's currently having sex with the
director is ... yup, and once cast and crew catch up with the director to
bring him the news, he's already dead ... Everybody flees the place, and
almost everybody is saved everybody but Fathan (Rifky Balweel) and Paula,
who halfway away from the haunted house notice they have forgotten
Fathan's girlfriend Mischa (Deriell Jaqueline) in the bathtub (really), so
they return to save her - but alas too late, the ghost has already killed
her. Fathan now wants his revenge on the ghost, but almost loses his life
in the process, before a shaman intervenes and has Fathan and Paula find
the ghost's walled-up corpse, which they now properly bury. And in the
end, Fathan learns he only wasn't killed by the ghost because she was the
first and true love of his father, who died a horrible death, but now that
his father is dying too, they can be together forever at least. Average
Indonesian horror effort, with a few inspired (if not exactly original)
scenes (the tough-as-nails screenwriter, the walled-up corpse, the
movie-within-a-movie), but far too many conventional shocks and plottwists
to really convince. Still, there are far worse horror flicks out there ...
