This was perfect late night horror fare. The gore factor was excellent without being overwhelming and there were some great comedic moments and set pieces to balance it out.

Set in a men’s prison in Jakarta, we are introduced to a pivotal character Dimas (Endy Arfian) when he is unfortunately convicted of the gruesome murder of his boss. We know that it was probably a supernatural force that caused it but everyone else thinks that Dimas somehow managed to kill his boss and suspend his mutilated body from a ceiling fan above his head in an almost artistic way.

Dimas is a gentle soul, and when he arrives in the prison, he is luckily first introduced to the one decent gang there. The leader of that gang is Anggoro (Abimana Aryasatya) who is not afraid to stand up to the corrupt guards and the other rather terrifying and meth producing gang led by Rendra (Yuhang Ho).

What happened to Dimas‘s boss begins to happen to others in the prison, happily to one of the most ferocious inmates first. It seems a ghost has attached themselves to Dimas and preys on those with angry auras.

The comedic moments come from the realisation that to stop their auras going angry red, they need to do something peaceful like pray or do art. This means that every now and again in the middle of a fight, one or more will break into dance or start praying to avoid becoming the target of the ghost.

It’s not just a superficial story though, as we also get a sense of the corruption in the prison system and also through political parties and people of power within Indonesia. Even the ghost has something of a social conscience.
