Review:
“Rasuk concludes with an incredibly weak exorcism and an ending that is so sugar-coated you could box it and sell it as a breakfast cereal. It’s supposed to be touching, uplifting and have a positive moral message. Instead, it’s so unbelievable it had me laughing. A total disaster from start to finish Rasuk is one to avoid.” Voices from the Balcony
Release:
Rasuk was released in Indonesia by MD Pictures on 28 June 2018.
Notes:
This film should not be confused with the 2011 Malaysian comedy horror movie of the same name.
