Verdict on Qorin
Qorin is an Indonesian horror movie following students at a remote boarding school. They are strictly religious until a new student comes along to change the atmosphere at the school. A model student must work to help defeat a demon that has come to the school searching for victims.
The movie gets to dive into the beliefs in the country and takes us down the road of possession being a deadly battle. This is something we have seen in many religions over the years. When it comes to the battle, it shows how the possession can consume the victims, believing they have done something wrong to be put in this position. The scares are good, creating demonic figures you would never want to meet. This movie grabs the religious beliefs for added fear and shows us once again Indonesia is making some effective horror movies.
Where to Watch: Qorin is available on Netflix now.
Final Thoughts – Qorin is a great demonic horror movie.
