Erik, the Asian Movie Enthusiast presents:
A review of “Grave Torture”, an Indonesian horror movie from 2024 that was directed by Joko Anwar.
The film “Grave Torture” opens with siblings, Sita and Adil, who live with their parents in a small bakery. Their lives are shattered when their parents are killed in an act of terror. The perpetrator, driven by religious fear of Siksa Kubur (grave torture), believed his actions would save him from eternal torment after death. The siblings are then taken to a holding room to be interviewed about the events, where they are found holding a mixtape. Later, when they play the tape, the phrase “Siksa Kubur” is heard, accompanied by chilling screams and disturbing noises that hint at supernatural torment.
A moderately entertaining horror movie with a solid finale, but it is a slow-burn.
