JAKARTA - Keramat films can be called one of the horror standards in Indonesian cinema. A decade has passed, this film has always been a conversation when it comes to mentioning what horror films are cloudy according to the audience. 13 years after the first film, Starvision Plus and Monty Tiwa wanted to gain the massive film Keramat by presenting a sequel titled Keramat 2: Caruban Larang. This film is still being produced by Chand Parwez Servia with Fiaz Servia. In the line of players, Keramat 2 presents six young stars. They are Umay Shahab, Ajil Ditto, Arla Ailani, Lutesha, Josephine Firmstone, Maura Gabrielle, and Keanu Angelo - an internet celebrity who made his acting debut. The legend is that the film Keramat certainly creates a puzzle, is the second film able to increase the horror like the first film? Keramat 2: Caruban Larang tells the story of a group of young people who go to Cirebon to do a project. Umay (Umay Shahab) is willing to help Ajil (Ajil Ditto) and Keanu (Keanu Angelo) to bring their mystery YouTube channel to life. Meanwhile, Arla (Arla Ailani) together with Jojo (Josephine Firmstone) and Maura (Maura Gabrielle) wanted to do the final research. They also asked for Umay's help to record their journey. Until they encounter a conflict that brings together with their old friend Lutesha (Lutesha). Lutesha warned them to return to Jakarta, but this actually adds to new problems. Concepted by the documentary footage, Keramat 2: Caruban Larang takes the theme of YouTube content that is relevant to today. Starting from the opening of videos that greet viewers to video amateurs in the vlog style. Taking pictures is also more professional than the first film with the concept of raw footage, which fortunately did not damage the story structure and character. The story goes on comedy. Keanu Angelo's signature blusukan can also be felt by the audience. This makes the horror side not as sharp as the first film. But that doesn't mean the horror is not felt. The plot also brings historical stories not only about survival. The jumpscare layer, which is slowly presented by Monty Tiwa, makes this film tense. The large number of silent moments in the film has succeeded in changing emotional tones to characters and films. Keramat 2 may lean against the concept of the first film, but it won't work without the cooperation of each character. A slick character development makes this film even more interesting towards the end of the story. Opened and ended without neglect, it is very likely that Keramat will expand its universe. To be sure, Keramat 2 offers a unique and rare experience of watching horror films in other films. Keramat 2 is a reminder that Indonesia has been exploring the horror genre for a long time and this film has performed brilliantly among the ranks of exploration. Keramat 2: Caruban Langkat film tayang di bioskop mulai hari ini, Kamis, 24 November.
