SIJJIN Film Review: Sadis' Image Of The Obsession Of Love That Brings Disaster

JAKARTA - The production house Rapi Films in collaboration with Sky Media and Legacy Pictures released their latest horror film adapted from a horror film in Turkey entitled Sijjin. The film itself is directed by Hadrah Daeng Ratu and stars Niken Anjani, Ibrahim Risyad to Anggika Bolsterli.

Broadly speaking, Sijjin tells the story of Irma (Anggika Bolsterli) who falls in love with Galang (Ibrahim Risyad), her cousin who is married to Nisa (Niken Anjani) and has a daughter named Sofia. Irma, who is still obsessed with Galang and wants to have her, then decides to go to the shaman to send witchcraft to Nisa and all the women in the Galang family to die in five nights.

Since then, mystical disturbances,bars, and deaths have emerged in Galang's house. However, what Irma unexpectedly suspected was that the threat was also targeting him and his family.

From the beginning, the story film that was built was not long-winded but was briefly, clearly, and densely described the characters in this film and had what roles to play, so the audience did not have to guess the roles of every character in the film and could enjoy the film more casually.

In this film, Angelika Bolsterli's appearance, who plays the character of a male actor, is very well described. From the way she dressed up, the clothes she wore, to her movements as a woman who was indeed teasing her husband. Anggika's appearance in this film is one of the things that is in the spotlight for her audience.

Not only Anggika, Niken Anjani who plays the role of a wife who is betrayed by her husband and has a wife character who is mediocre and obedient is also played well by Niken. In addition, as someone who has never watched horror films, Niken is good enough to show the movements of people who are slowly possessed by demons.

Furthermore, in this Sijjin film, although not using much sound or voice background effects, it is still able to make the atmosphere tense. The silence that seemed to be built made the audience wonder what really happened. This makes the Sijjin film different from other horror films that highlight loud noises to cause a jumpscale effect on the film.

Tells the story of witchcraft, the terrors given in this film are presented slowly and described how cruel the witchcraft effect is without being too much described which causes disgust to the audience.

The film Sijjin has a simple message regarding an obsession with something that teaches us to be able to control ourselves. The film Sijjin will hit Indonesian cinemas on November 9.
