For an Indonesian horror movie, it certainly offers different taste

Indonesian movie industry in its awakening period during the recent years have been flooded with mostly horror films, which are mostly, unfortunately, lack of originality, made in a hurry, messy editing, silly script and plot, terrible sound FX (only to shock you with loud bang), and other disadvantages mostly caused by lack of seriousness in making a film, possibly also due to the profit-crazed producers. The recent release "Suster N" provides different taste. While not scary or shock-fest, it gives something that Indonesian horror movie never provides before: suspense and mystery. The plot flows nicely, keeps the audience guessing. We have wonderful young talents here, Atiqah Hasiholan and Wulan Guritno (although doesn't talk much, her presence is already mysterious enough...), along with great cameos made by a bunch of Indonesian veteran actors and actresses like Henky Soelaiman, HIM Damsyik, Ratna Riantiarno, Jajang C. Noer, Ade Irawan, and many others. Unfortunately the male actor's acting (Ben Seven) is rather wooden. The location (a villa with Dutch colonial architecture converted into an old folks' home) is great, giving that eerie Gothic surroundings, like old-school horror movies. Setting in other "mainstream Indonesian horrors" are mostly sloppy and never arranged seriously.

However, among the good things mentioned, it's such a pity that the filmmaker rather failed to show "scary ghost" - and still can't completely release heavy dependence to "The Ring" and "Ju-On" type of ghosts, like other Indonesian horror trash movies. Anyway, I think it's just a minor thing and for me, not decreasing my enjoyment of this movie. Yes, it's a different Indonesian horror movie, and I recommend at least to watch it once and judge it by yourself.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

A movie about the famous ghost of the Dutch raised nurse, Norah, who can not walk for having a wounded leg.
