Pros: a very nice SFX, Make-up, Costume etc. The suspense especially at the beginning of the movie was quite good.
Cons: the story is situated at early 1980's in Semarang where the people speaks with quite a thick Javanese accent, and this is not reflected in the movie.
The dialogues are so rigid, it feels like I'm watching a high-school drama. Even though it is the correct form of Bahasa Indonesia, but it is not how we speak in daily basis.
The story itself has a huge weak link and plot holes. For example the owner of the Hotel knows that the third floor is restricted for all people. IT CAN CAUSE DEATH.. and let's see how do they prevent people from entering that floor. They just say that "it is closed due to renovation." and just locking the door with no padlocks. The second time someone dies because of the ghost living in that floor, they just use padlock instead of sealing that floor. Like come on just use plywood to close the stair to that floor.
Third the main character hearing a cry of a woman from third floor where it is padlocked, instead of asking employee to help (this is a hotel where definitely there's a security guard, one front office staff at least to help and ask for keys), she just broke the padlock using a hammer.
The high school girl was told to go to the school warehouse to pick up a mannequin, she just get there on the 2nd day. Come on. And she was cursed for the first day and almost get killed by the ghost.
Last the curse itself does not have consistency. The ghost tried to kill the cursed ppl even before the deadline. And they don't use the real "Menur" tree.
