I don't find the movie to be scary, it's more like a thriller horror movie to me. The premise of the story is about a teenage girl (Amara) who performs a ritual at a haunted well to make a wish to talk with her deceased father, but apparently the well doesn't grant a wish and instead it summons an evil spirit that harms the surrounding people around the girl. The movie has some violent scenes but it doesn't have much scares in it, there are few jump scares in the movie, especially there is one straight face jump scare which is really annoying, this kind of jump scare feels cheap nowadays and shouldn't be used if anyone wants to make a good horror movie. Unfortunately the movie has really nothing to offer besides these things, the story is too simple, some viewers might had predicted how the protagonist would solve the evil spirit problem during the course of movie, and there are few things in the story that doesn't make sense too. I wish there is an interesting twist in the story, but unfortunately there is none. I think the movie could be better if the story goes with pyschological horror direction instead of just about a slasher demon which is already too common, like for example, the protagonist could make a wish for her father to be revived instead and the wish is really granted and her father is really revived where he looks like a normal person at first, however there is something creepy about the father later, and so on. Indonesian horror movie industry needs good scriptwriters if it wants to compete with horror movies from hollywood and south korea.
