Stricken with grief after the recent death of his mother, Tommy puts his family at risk after visiting a fortune teller and being convinced to practice black magic in order to protect his family. His sister, Rita, becomes concerned the house may be haunted and seeks the help of her boyfriend, Herman, to figure out why. Problems escalate when a sinister housekeeper, with a strong resemblance to the fortune teller, moves in and the mother’s creepy-ass restless spirit keeps appearing to her children. The family’s sorrow and lack of spiritual connection to Allah puts them in deeper danger then they know and lives will be lost. Slightly creepy in its opening hour it is, sadly, also a bit dull but the final act does make up for it a little with a failed exorcism and a group of angry spirits/zombies attacking the family in their home. Known as an Indonesian Phantasm, it does have some resemblances to the classic flick but would probably go unnoticed if the viewer had no knowledge that it was marketed as such. A curiosity worth seeking out but not as good as many of the films to come from Southeast Asia.
