    An exceptionally creepy thriller - and a pretty disturbing one

    Playfully weird and yet so skillfully constructed, 'Pintu Terlarang' proves Joko Anwar's capability of building a dark, layered, enigmatic mystery like few other Indonesian directors. An exceptionally creepy thriller - and a pretty disturbing one.
