Ghost Like Us

About This Movie

So, you know how some documentaries dive deep into nostalgia? 'Ghost Like Us' really does that, but it's not just your run-of-the-mill trip down memory lane. Riar Rizaldi's exploration of those gritty Indonesian horror and exploitation flicks from the 80s and 90s gives you a sense of the underground vibe they had—like they were alive in this weird, shadowy world outside typical cinema. The pacing has this almost hypnotic rhythm, letting you soak in the atmosphere. And the way Rizaldi reflects on these films as a 'cinematic elsewhere' is thought-provoking, too. You see the practical effects, the raw performances, and it’s like peeling back layers of a cultural tapestry that often gets overlooked.
