Pusaka Film Review: Curse Of Heritage Goods That Take Death

JAKARTA - The production house MVP Pictures has re-released their latest horror film, entitled Pusaka. The film, directed by Rizal Mantovani, collaborated with several Indonesian actors such as Susan Sameh, Shareefa Saharginis, Ajil Ditto to Sahila Hisyam.

Broadly speaking, the film Pusaka tells the story of a team of workers led by Nina (Shareefa Daanish) where the team consists of Hanna (Susan Sameh), David (Ajil Ditto), Sandra (Ully Triani), and Ade (Ikhsan Samiaji).

The five people were asked by the families of Risang Wisangko's (Slamet Rahardjo) children, namely Randi (Bukie B. Mansyur and Bian Wisangko (Shofia Shireen) to turn their villa house containing their father's heirloom into a museum.

Unexpectedly, while conducting a survey of the house's mainstay, Sandra accidentally touched one of the Keris-shaped heirlooms that made her possessed by a malicious ghost and began to threaten all lives in the house.

From the start, Rizal Mantovani tried to build tensions from the beginning of this film by slowly telling the film so that the audience could understand every intention of the story being conveyed.

Although slowly, Rizal did not seem to want to take too long to tell the background of this story and directly to the conflict in the story so that the audience was not too bored with narratives that were too long and long-winded.

Not only that, the whole storyline taken by this film makes a lot of sense so viewers don't have to wonder about every incident in this film.

After entering into conflict, one of the things that attracts attention in this film is the form of a ghost that is displayed where it looks very scary and realistic, thus adding to the fear of the audience.

Ully Triani's game as Sandra who turns into a ghost deserves thumbs up for successfully building a very scary ghost image and managed to make the audience hold back their breath while watching this film.

Not only Ully, other players can also balance each other so that all the players in this film can highlight their respective characters optimally but still balanced.

This ultimately makes the feeling of fear felt by the players in the film can also be felt by the audience.

The dialogue used by the players also sounds natural because it uses everyday language but remains polite so that it is easy for the audience to understand.

For your own visuals, Rizal Mantovani includes many scenes that can be said to be quite sadistic and clearly shown to the audience along the film. Even though it's sadistic, you could say it doesn't make the audience feel disgust.

Although the end of this film is predictable easily and no plot twist is given, the audience can be satisfied with the closings given by this film.
