Hidayah [Movie Review]

Hassan searches for Bahri in Jakarta and finds him working at a car repair workshop - the only place in town that would employ a convict. Bahri went into the prison after one of his patient died during a ruqyah session. Hassan wants Bahri to come home and assist Ratna, who is ailing and possessed by evil. Bahri says no and Hassan goes on his way, back to Desa Mekarwangi.

That night, Bahri dreams of Ratna, asking for his assistance. And he packs and goes home. 

But his arrival at the village is less than welcomed. The people of Desa Mekarwangi still thinks ill of Bahri. He goes and sees Abah, the head of pasentren who accepts him as he is. 

Hassan brings him to see Ratna and his ruqyah session starts. He manages to treat Ratna and disposes of the evil that has been possessing her, leaving her dead now. The resident of Desa Mekarwangi is against burying Ratna at the village's cemetery but Bahri listens to no one. 

And since then, the restless soul of Ratna goes around and haunts the people of Mekarwangi.

Abah is ailing and it seems that Bahri is the only hope to treat the possessed residents and uncover the mystery of Ratna's ghost, while being nice to the people of Mekarwangi that thinks otherwise about him. 

Can his shaky faith helps Mekarwangi and Ratna?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 I love the simplicity of the movie and its plot. Hidayah is not trying too much to scare you with the ghosts but it calls for one to strengthen one's faith in the face of adversary. 

Cast: 4.6/ 5.0 Great performance by the actors. 

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind bringing my screamer friends to watch it.
