Netflix’s New Mystical Horror is Officially Confirmed a Hit with 1.5 Million Views

by

I just finished watching this new horror movie on Netflix, and it seriously freaked me out! It’s blowing up right now – I heard it got almost 2 million views this week and is already number 3 globally. What really got to me was the setting. It takes place in this incredibly creepy, dense forest in Indonesia that people say is seriously haunted. It’s the perfect location for a scary movie, honestly!

Set in the Indonesian forest of Alas Roban, the film follows Sita, a nurse and single mother, as she journeys along a notoriously haunted road with her blind daughter, Gendis. However, things take a disturbing turn when Gendis begins to experience frightening visions. Initial reactions to the film have been mixed. While viewers appreciate the story’s concept and the actors’ performances, some feel the connection between Sita and Gendis isn’t strong enough, making their relationship feel unconvincing.

Alas Roban is Bringing Back Ghost Horror in a Big Way

Lately, horror movies have focused a lot on monsters, vampires, and stories about getting revenge – and that’s been great! However, ghost stories haven’t been as common. The film Alas Roban decided to bring them back, using Indonesian folklore to create what many are calling a very scary movie. While it was genuinely frightening, some viewers felt it wasn’t quite a masterpiece. One viewer explained that the movie’s setting – a dark and symbolic forest – had a lot of potential, but the story itself was confusing. Instead of being intriguing, the confusing plot made it difficult to connect with the characters. Some scenes dragged on, while important plot points felt rushed or weren’t explained well.

Many viewers didn’t like the sound design, feeling the music didn’t fit the tone of Alas Roban. However, if you can overlook that, you’ll find a truly scary movie set in a unique and underappreciated location.
