We can clearly see Pengabdi Setan's influence on this year's horror Indonesian movies, and this movie is no exception. But unfortunately, it also bring about of its problems. But unlike Pengabdi Setan, the acting of some of the actors and actress in this movie fell quiet flat (oh and their reactions and actions to solve the problems at hand don't quiet make sense) and so did the dialogues. The plot and some of the scary scenes, I think, got a little bit forced just to make us jump off our seats. despite all that, 'Sebelum Iblis Menjemput' is one of so few Indonesian movies (horror movies to be precise) that I appreciate for its shots, pictures, cinematography, practical and special effect (well not all of them), the entirety of its storyline, jumpscares, and tensions which resulted from the director's bold move in incorporating some of the elements from Hollywood's best horror flicks into it (and to differentiate itself from the dull and mediocre Indonesian movies).
score 7/10
