Azhar Kinoi Lubis starts in 2025 with his latest film, the Devils' Bridal. The film produced by MVP Pictures brings together Erika Carlina and Emir Mahira in a story adapted from the RJL 5 broadcast.

The Devils' bride tells the story of Echa (Erika Carlina) and Ariel (Emir Mahira) a young couple who are married for 3 years. Now their relationship is deteriorating and fighting more while they are busy with their respective jobs.

Both Echa and Ariel have a desire to return to being like before. Echa and Ariel get advice from their respective friends that they have to live a household life like husband and wife in general. Echa and Ariel tried it and the next day Echa had a pregnancy.

Echa was surprised because the blessing came earlier so she went to the doctor. However, Echa and Ariel were surprised because doctors said Echa's pregnancy had reached 3 months. Ariel suspected that Echa was having an affair while Echa was confused because she was looking for who was the mastermind behind her pregnancy.

At the same time, Echa began to experience terror and nightmares in his daily life, making him even more faced with strangeness. Ariel also felt a terrible picture of Echa without knowing who this figure was.

One thing that caught my attention was the synematography of the Devils' Bride and Groom which was stylish and taken from an interesting point of view. Falling in love with the figure of Jin towards Echa, which was described as erotic, intimate as well as gripping, spread the terror that was planted from the start.

The author's decision to choose certain parts as a sequence of stories is also felt to be appropriate because if it summarizes the original Echa story, it seems that there is boredom in speech. Kinoi chose to start from Echa's nightmare and take the audience to the introduction of Jin.

The horror scene in this film also seems very excited which of course supported by this beautiful cinematography. As a result, the horror moment was created that felt natural and made sense.

The appearance of the old man was also able to make the audience curious. Why Echa? Maybe that question continues to arise. The figure of the rope also looks very exaggerated, making this film remind the audience of Hollywood horror films because from a visual point of view, calm is very charming.

The bloody scene was placed in several simple scenes which turned out to be effective in causing horror. One scene that was even more terrifying was played by Erika Carlina well. Emir Mahira as husband also performed his acting well.

There is a sense of admiration when the character Ustaz Zaini (Alfie Alfandy) is present. The figure is not described as a savior but as a reminder that only those who can free themselves from the snares of the devil.

On the other hand, the figure of the cooperative is not conveyed in full as well as some dialogues that seem stiff even though looking at the background of the story like in modern times.

The Devils' Bridal Film turns a standard story into an interesting presentation and opens the year grippingly. The Devils' Bridal film opens in theaters starting Thursday, January 16.
