Ivanna, The Local Horror Movie That Made Me Amazed and Spooky!

Source

Hello everyone!

Hive friends do you like horror movie?

This time, I want to review a horror film adapted from the novel by Risa Sarasvati entitled Ivanna. For a moment trending on Twitter, this film has become one of the films that must be discussed among film lovers. Moreover, horror films in Indonesia have always been excellent among the public, even though the film is not very worthy, but has its own fans.

Actually, I wanted to review the Taiwanese film Incantation, but before watching I was already scared. So I decided to watch Ivanna first, because it was already showing in theaters.

Finally, after a long time, in 2022, there is finally a horror film to be proud of and not to shame the Indonesian film universe. Ivanna is a panacea to heal the depravity of Indonesian films this year. In addition to being the best horror film this year even from 2021 (because cinemas are banned due to covid), Ivanna is also the best film of several Danur Universe films (a film based on Risa Sarasvati's novel).

By the way, for hive friends who don't know who Risa Sarasvati is, she is an Indonesian Horror novelist and YouTuber whose name has been on the rise in recent years. Even Risa Sarasvati has written many novels whose works have been made into horror films and are referred to as Danur Universe.

The background story of Risa Sarasvati was obtained from many 'invisible' friends who were victims of Japanese colonial violence during the Indonesian colonial period, and these victims were Dutch colonials who were defeated by the Japanese, they also became ghosts who were called friends of Risa. since childhood.

Risa Sarasvati poured the stories of her 'invisible' friends into several novels, and all of them became bestsellers in the market, some of which have even become films that many people have been waiting for.

This time I really appreciate the director of this film because of his persistence and expertise in making this Ivanna film something different from other Danur Universe. Kimo Stamboel is the determinant of the fate of Danur Universe which is not worth watching. I think this film has a very good setting, especially in the forward and backward plot setting. It is very clear that Kimo Stamboel's ability to make this film beat other good horror films, even though at first I underestimated Ivanna's film, especially since this film was produced by MD Pictures. It's really spectacular!

Although the story of this film still looks very marketable, it can be forgiven because the formula of the premise of the film is made to be very exciting. The audience was amazed by the very orderly story, beautiful steps, and neatly arranged to make goosebumps goosebumps. All of the cast is made to be playful, all of them contribute to building a great story and set. What I really like is that Ivanna's appearance is so perfect, not just a ghost to be a jumpscare ghost to surprise the audience, Ivanna's character is made very carefully and steals the audience's attention.

The film's scoring is very gripping, making this film even more sinister. The horror treatment, which plays silent terror, does not surprise the audience as long as it is completely different from many Indonesian horror films that often irritate. Not made carelessly because as we know, that Indonesian horror films, no matter how bad they are, will still have a lot of viewers. This film is truly a new face for other horror films, and hopefully all directors are slapped with this Ivanna film.

The main point that became my highlight when watching this film was the very smooth flashback story. The director uses flashback storytelling without disturbing the intensity of the film's main plot. The transitions are very smooth, like there are no cut and move scenes. The director made this film like the past with the present running parallel. This is what makes Ivanna the only horror film that has the best flashback story I've ever watched.

The brutal scenes are very maximal, not long-winded and straight to the point, very brutal without mercy. For example, the slashing of the head for the head, the revenge that is built is very brutal. This is what makes Ivanna's film very scary, not because the meeting care is too excessive.

Although it is not yet perfect, this film can be a reference to fill time and appreciate good Indonesian horror films. In fact, this film can shift the film from the land of hell that I have reviewed before.

So guys, you can watch Ivanna's movie at the nearest cinema! Do not miss it!

Rating by me, 8/10

See you the next time hive friends!
