Reviews:
“Devano Danendra as Respati, Mikha Hernan as Tirta and Keisya Levronka as Wulan give functional performances, although their characters, particularly of the latter, could have been written a bit better. In the grand scheme of the narrative, however, all of them work well and their chemistry is good. Although it does not exactly reinvigorate the genre, Respati is a well-shot, highly entertaining supernatural horror that will appeal to most fans of the category.” Asian Movie Pulse
” …the film doesn’t offer much new to the expected tropes, and falls to levels of corniness at times — for example, at one point Respati strikes a cliched pose straight out of virtually any superhero film of the past few decades. Still, Respati has enough going for it in its supernatural dream-realm sequences to warrant a watch.” Horror Fuel
