In the Indonesian movie Ivanna (2022) two young siblings are being rescued after their parents death but soon after they arrive at a new family the older sister Ambar is being haunted by terrifying visions and the whole family is plagued by a malevolent force. The fact that Ambar's eyesight is becoming increasingly worse makes it all even more terrifying for her and brings some dynamic for the plot.
The movie reveals some back plot about the past and et voilà , we have a typical "ghost on a revenge spree that is targeting the innocent" movie. But this movie gets some extra credit for some gruesome gore and some heavy-handed scenes including several decapitations and eyes popping out of the skull. The fact that the ghost or entity is so physically threatening makes up for some truly terrifying scenes that will definitely stay with the viewer for some time.
The overall pace of the movie is rather slow except for the third act where the movie turns up a notch, because of the slow paced beginning and middle part of the movie I think it could have been 10 or 15 minutes shorter, but then again the third act makes up for that. [5,9/10]
