Pod Ghost

About This Movie

So, ‘Pod Ghost’ is this intriguing horror flick set in Tanjung Pinang, where a group of literature students digs into the local history. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially when they stay at this grandmother's house, which has a certain eerie charm. Mahiah, one of the characters, adds this strange layer of allure, drawing Syahdan in, but her indifference creates this unsettling vibe. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the haunting elements to seep in gradually, which I found really effective. Practical effects are used well, enhancing the supernatural feel without going overboard. The performances bring a grounded quality to the whole setup, making the weirdness feel more immersive. It’s a unique exploration of folklore blended with young adult drama, and that’s what sets it apart.

Focuses on local folklore · Strong character dynamics · Atmospheric tension throughout
