JAKARTA - Sissy films can be watched legally, through KlikFilm starting in August 2023. This Australian film takes the genre of comedy horror films that present tragedy, dark humor, and slasher but are packed with cheerful atmospheres.

This film tells the story of Cecilia who accidentally meets her childhood best friend Emma. Emma's happiness is unstoppable, she invites Cecilia who is usually called Sissy to attend her engagement party with her boyfriend Fran. Sissy doesn't refuse, and they really enjoy being together at the party.

After the party ended, Emma introduced Sissy to her close friends, Jamie and Alex. Sissy's meeting with Alex sparked things that were hidden in Sissy, so that the atmosphere was tense. Alex was a person who bullied Sissy often as a child.

Sissy's film really presents terrible sadistic and detailed scenes and is able to make the audience uncomfortable. However, the concept feels cheerful and occasionally presents tense scenes. The music presented tends to be dominated by cheerful music. The placement of jumpscare in this film is also very fitting, so it is not easy to guess.

Aisha Dee, who plays the character Sissy, is acting very extraordinary. It is this character that gives a different feel to this slasher film. His expression may not be 180 degrees different and doesn't make it feel creepy but instead this makes him not think that he will do more than the audience's imagination.

At the beginning he looked isolated and made sympathy but when the trigger point came out, he couldn't be stopped. In fact, the transition from one character to another is so subtle that it cannot be distinguished in the current conditions.

Hannah totaling the position of director and playing the character Emma, her position looks gray from the start, she tries to defend Cecilia, but on the other hand she still feels trying to maintain her position between her friends.

The moral and social messages in this film are also quite important and feel related to today. Apart from bullying but also how the characters that are widely idolized on social media turn out to have other hidden and contradictory sides. And he hides it very well.

On the other hand, other characters in this film cannot be said to be fun. Most of them favor the bully, maybe also in order to maintain his friendship. We may often see this theme in films, those who become victims of bullying then become more cruel than the bully.
