Santet

Bon film !

Honestly the acting from the mum was a troll, she was just trying to modle the whole time. The little girl kelly carried the movie with great acting skills (trying to drown in a bathtub that frank says is impossible) Movie that I personally wouldnt watch again but would be keen to act in it if i had a chance, so would frank. Just way to confusing, they are trying to make it like shutter island and making it really confusing but just turns out they ruin the whole movie by doing that. End scene just ruined the whole thing and frank said that she should of grabbed the painting from the wall and smack it on the girls head.!!! 10/10 better than playing val.

A film that depicts a real event and it's good, although it's not so scary, but it's wonderful and wonderful, the most beautiful of Indonesia in it.

BLACK MAGIC is yet another cheap, boring, digital horror flick about a woman suffering from a black magic curse and the strain it puts on her family members. The only difference is that this one hails from Indonesia, but it's just as derivative and cliched as anything that Hollywood could throw up. It's a film severely lacking in insight, originality, entertainment and proper characterisation, and the casting is particularly bad here. I know that Western actors are always seemingly poor in Asian cinema, but Kelly Brook, as the lead's wife, is particularly wooden and stilted, her accent slipping between American and Essex at regular intervals. You have to feel for her.

The movie begins nice, giving hope that by the end a big past mystery will be revealed. However, nothing such happens. Overall, the movie has negligible engagement, even Kelly Brook has been left unutilised to arouse excitement. Skip this one!

I got roped into this atrocity by one of those click-bait headlines promising to show you the "best horror movies you've never heard of." Wel, it certainly showed me several I'd never heard of, but none of them were anywhere close to "best," especially this clump. Evidently, the very strangely put-together star, Kelley Brook, has been in a few TV shows or something, but I don't know how or why. She can't act. She can't even act like she can act. She was even more lame than the poor Indonesian dude who played her husband. In fact, the only real actors in the film were the kids and I'm hoping being in this thing doesn't ruin their future. There's seriously no scares, no story, no magic, nothing supernatural, or anything else that would make this be called a horror movie. Avoid this at all cost.

Reading some online reviews of this film, you would think it is the worst thing ever made, and that top-billed Kelly Brook is the worst thing in it. I found 'Black Magic' (otherwise known as the more memorable 'Santet') well-made but run-of-the-mill, with a succession of unexplained horrors afflicting each member of the central family one by one. In-keeping with its rather generic title, there is little original here, but the setting of Indonesia for its main location gives the production a look unlike most other cursed family horrors of this type. Kelly Brook makes a fine job of the constantly horrified wife and mother Laura, and only Marcelino Lefrandt as her husband Rendy lacks a certain gravitas as the main male lead. Well orchestrated twists and turns abound here, the only problem is that the succession of characters being mortally injured and then fighting fit before being mortally injured again, acting as if possessed and then coming round before being possessed again, has a certain repetition about it - but I've seen a lot worse than this.

This horror movie is set in Indonesia and has both English and Indonesian dialogue, with subtitles where needed. It's no better or worst than most other movies of this genre. In fact in my opinion probably a bit better than most. The worst criticism I can give it, is that the women and girls in it wear the daggiest clothes out, even Kelly Brook. But it will keep you entertained with the normal scares and suspense.

Poor all round and on top of that Kelly Brooks stays completely covered up !!!!!

Wow a current low budget horror film made in the Philippines. Is Kelly Brook nuts? She must REALLY need the money. It's freaking dangerous over there. I guess she's too dense to read the news. The movie's idea of possession is you scream and can't use your left foot. No one in this film can act. AT ALL. The one thing I can say in favor of it, they've learned to make sharp images since the 70's when those grainy, scratched grind house prints were churning out of the Philippines.
