Year: 2009
Plot: “Two newly weds Adjie and Astrid, along with 3 of their best friends decided to have an interstate road trip as a last attempt to reconcile Adjie with his estranged little sister Ladya. Their trip is however abruptly interrupted when they run into Maya, a strange girl out of nowhere, who wanders aimlessly into their path. "I've been robbed" is all she has to say.”
This happened to be another movie that I have seen mentioned in a few recommendations that I had been putting off. It also didn’t help that I have had a lot of homework from college and haven’t had much movie time. When I did get a slight break from my homework, I decided to give this movie a shot.
As far as the storyline goes, I was rather happy with this movie. It kept me pretty interested throughout the whole movie. I absolutely loved the portrayal of Darah. I have to say she is rather creepy just in herself. The rest of the movie wasn’t creepy or scary to me. I am usually not a big fan of slasher type movies, but this one was still rather good.
As far as the gore in this movie went, it was all pretty good. There were points where the stuff looked as fake as it really was, but because I was really interested in finding out what was up with Darah, it didn’t matter much.
The characters really do hold this movie together well. Beyond wanting to know about Darah, the best character was Ladya. Usually I have problems with the standard horror movie theme that also plays in this one, but this one did it very well. It is always fun to see a girl fighting back especially when it is effective.
I definitely suggest giving this movie a shot. Despite some of the fake looking gory scenes, the storyline is rather good. Its ending is a lot like a typical American slasher movie, but this one pulls it off better than most in my opinion.
