This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Munafik mempunyai jalan cerita yang menarik dan seram juga. Yang paling bestnya adalah plot "twist" di babak klimaks. Filem ini adalah arahan oleh Syamsul Yusof dan dia juga memainkan watak protagonis dalam filem ini. Nampaknya filem ini menaikkan taraf genre seram dalam industri filem negara Malaysia.

First of all, well done to those involved in the making of this film. Congratulations, you have made me go watch a Malaysia movie at Cinema again.For me, Munafik is a film that has produced very good.Starting from the script. dialogue in the script makes me amazed. Its like I'm reading academic books because it has lesson and for me it's not a waste of words. Issues raised in the script also makes me think like this "Its true as well, I never thought that thing as well" '"Ha ah, sometimes I also want to ask that thing." One of dialogue that make me think like that is "Why Allah sometimes use the 'I' and sometimes use 'we' in His words. As a direct grant and I accept it as the correct answer is "Allah uses 'we' to mean 'Allah and His greatness'. Another, the script reprimand the Malays of foul nature of existence such as envy and continue with "shame or embarrassment Malay or Muslims? Which is more important?". Such as archery equipment to the liver. Not forgetting the 'was-was' issue infused in this film. Because little doubt that facilitate the devil astray.The story line of this film makes Munafik passed with quite fast tempo. I mean, I did not get bored with the story. Frankly, the are spoiler in this story. But I reject the edge of things. If I ever thought I would question how he show such hypocrisy. So I put myself as an audience that does not know anything of this story. I wonder who the real hypocrites? If we follow the story, starting with the Shah - gravedigger (if not mistaken), go to Mother, go to Maria, go to Pak Imam and Ustaz Adam placed all round the issue or allow I think they are hypocrite. At the end of the story, the plot twist.The characters in this film made me accept his character, especially the character of Mary supported by Nabila Huda. Different character appears clearly. Its delivery possessed character did not like the habit of screaming so much like I saw before and I did not understand what was being said.Adam's character supported by Syamsul Yusof also able to make me excited. Especially when she cried while she dreams and see his wife in scene him when the accident. I do not see scene before the tears down to tears down was cut scene. Both of these characters managed to bring it up to my emotions.For dialogue delivered, I'm a little troubled by some characters. Monotonous. Intentional or didn't noticed? But disgrace was closed by concern of other elements. Dialogue also thrown with clear pronunciation. I mean, when Arabic used. Perhaps the actor learn and understand the meaning of the term and 'makraj' in its Malay language first. 'Ruqyah' verses and verses are read clearly without the fade- out of the mouth reading mute.Two things I respect most in this film is the actor genitalia care and limit body contact. For me all the actors genitalia maintained even when she was possessed. Matted hair does not need to look like a ghost. I also like the contact level even in a state of fear, Maria does not hug Ustaz Adam rather. If other movies (not all films) if we fear we must hug someone close to us. I hope people see what Syamsul want to convey.Finally, I can watch that the Malaysian film directors keep these two things. Thanks Syamsul. You made me cry to watch this movie. The prayer part in time of termination of this movie literally made my fragile heart pray along with you.

Currently Malaysian director tend to make horror movie so much that some of it are not worth the watch. However for this movie it was an A++ will be given. Why?? Because it seems that there are some scene in the movie that are not very typical with other Malay horror movie. And I would called it brave due to the director tend to make a scene which some of us may consider it as taboo and the actor seems so deep into the character when acting on "the brave set".If you wander what are the brave set is you may try to take a look at the movie. Local Malaysian will understand what are "the brave set" I mention previously

An initial start to review this movie, I'd like to say this is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen. I'm a cinephile and a horror addict, but don't get me wrong, I'm still in love with The Conjuring, Ju-On, Insidious trilogy, As Above So Below, The Exorcist etc. But this movie is a whole lot of new experience where you can see Syamsul Yusof, the director and actor of Munafik, gave such huge potential to create a shivering amount of fright to the audience. This is not a typical horror movie which can always be seen in three objective ways; a haunted house, an exorcist and a trip to a haunted location. There's an exorcism part in Munafik but it doesn't pin it as the main story. The movie is basically about Adam who is a medical practitioner in a village, but things start to get dimmed when his wife is met with a car accident. With his frustration, he stops to treat people until he eventually decides to treat Maria, and strange things start to happen in his life.Nabila Huda, who acted as Maria in the movie, should give a standing ovation. You can never see a Malay actress pulling off her career acting like how she did.Maybe some of you won't know the meaning of Munafik; Munafik is a person who pretends to be a believer of Islam when he does not. For those of you who don't know, this movie is at the first spot in Malaysia to being the highest grossing in local history! Polis Evo, Ola Bola, Boboiboy, which some of you have might heard, are now on the second, fourth, and fifth spots respectively.I gave this movie a full-star mainly due to its rare type of horror. In one of the exorcisms, the devil talked in Arab language which is new to a horror movie. The build-ups of suspense in the story was a huge success. The cinematography was almost perfect and the screen writing was absolutely outstanding! Also, there's a lot of moral values to learn and lie deep within this movie. If you're a Muslim or non- Muslim, you would still get the lessons throughout the whole movie. The climax ending and revelations pulled off to its highest peak, you can never guess the ending to this story. There were just too much of revelations but in a systematic manner.If you're scared of The Conjuring, this movie will scare the hell out of you in multiple times. Go watch it! I've watched this movie 10 times in the cinemas!
