I bet I can tell you the last few movies that writer/director Steven Sheil saw just before he got his "inspiration" for this Horror. After you've seen the movie you'll understand because the word "nod" is too soft to describe it. Think 'Indiana Jones', 'The Descent' with hints of 'Predator'. Coincidentally, it's an Indonesian Independent movie which sort of makes it an Indy Indo Indie, lol. Steven Sheil is also a cinematographer and what this film lacks in originality it makes up in technical skills because for a low budget Horror it actually puts most to shame. It's been filmed beautifully with the camera finding some interesting positions in every conceivable angle but to back that up the lighting is another element in this films favour. It looks great. The sound was also good with some decent effects blended in, nothing outstanding but again, way better than what's usually on offer.

The acting varied slightly with no one being anything special except Ario Bayu who has a few of his native Indonesian films under his belt and has quite a following, I can see why. The rest of the cast were a mixture of lesser known actors but considering the lack of experience by practically everyone involved with this movie it was extremely well produced. The real let down was the clichéd writing. The skill and passion that went into this film was admirable but one wonders what would happen if these guys ever got a good script. Sadly it rarely happens. It's usually one or the other. Sad really.

Not the scariest movie I've seen with no decent frights although Steven Sheil did manage to do a reasonable build up to the finale but even that wasn't as strong a finish as I would have liked and what a difference it would have made. A good ending can 'make' a movie as we tend to forget about the 'not so good' bits we had seen but still, a decent little Horror that looked very, very good.
