Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a supernatural horror film: "Mata Batin, part 1"
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins in 2005, with a girl, Alia,
going out of their house to fetch her little sister, Abel
Alia runs into their gardener, with whom she quickly exchanges pleasantries
Alia repeatedly calls her Abel's name; but she receives no replies,
until she sees her sister facing an old flowerless tree
Alia comes up to Abel, who is wearing headphones
Abel informs her sister that someone is hiding behind the tree
Alia slowly walks towards it; but she sees nothing
Abel insists that someone was behind the tree,
and he even warns her not to stay at the house, because he owns it
Alia dismisses her, as Abel always does this
Alia tells her sister that her imagination is playing with her
Later that night, their mom tries to take Abel's headphones;
but she pleads to sleep with them, as it keeps her from hearing strange noises
Meanwhile, while Alia studies in her room,
a man dressed in white suddenly passes by, and walks towards Abel's room
Alia feels his presence, so she goes out to check Abel in her room
The man suddenly comes out, and locks the door
Their parents quickly go up, as they hear their daughters scream
When they open the door, they see Abel wriggling like something is on top of her
They also see scratches on her legs
the mother calms Abel, while the father checks out the room to find the attacker
However, the attacker mysteriously vanishes into thin air,
so their dad asks Alia what she saw; but the fear silence her
Ten years later, Alia now works in Bangkok
While Alia does her work in a coffee shop, the waiter gives her a cup of coffee
Alia is confused as she did not order anything;
so the waiter points out the gentleman sitting near her
Alia smiles as she sees her boyfriend, Davin, walking to her
Alia closes her laptop and talks to Davin
Shortly after, she receives a phone call from her uncle
Alia answers it; and her mood quickly changes as she receives bad news
Following that, Alia returns to their new house with Davin,
where her uncle informs her about her parent's death
They got into a car accident with a truck carrying steel;
the vehicle suddenly stopped, and the steel went through her parent's car
They were immediately taken to the hospital; but they died in the ambulance
The uncle adds that they cannot stay in the house anymore,
as it is a residential house for her dad given by his company
They only have three months to pack up and move out;
so her uncle suggests staying in their old house
After that, Alia quickly goes to her parents' tombs to pay respect, before checking on her sister
Alia and Davin see Abel looking through the window
Alia introduces Davin
but Abel remains silent, and hugs her sister
Then, Alia informs Abel that they will be staying in their old house,
as their dad's company will take their current home
On the way, Abel expresses her displeasure on returning to their old place,
and claims that something is living there
After hours of driving, they finally arrive at the old house
The now old gardener offers his condolences to the girls,
and informs them about the damages around the house
After that, they check out the rooms
Davin accidentally goes inside Alia's parents' room;
so Alia fetches him, and the lights suddenly go out
Alia immediately fixes it, while Davin carefully monitors her
As Alia finishes, the chair suddenly breaks
Luckily, Davin is there to catch her
The two laugh at Alia's clumsiness as they leave, while Alia forgets her tumbler on the bed
As they go into another room, Abel comes inside; and she sees the tumbler rolling on the floor
Although scared, Abel checks the room, and sees a human-like figure underneath the white fabric
Then the lights malfunction again
Abel breathes heavily as she watches the figure, which all of a sudden runs towards her
Abel quickly closes the door, before the figure catches up to her
Later that day, Alia convinces Abel to go to school, as she has been absent for too long
but Abel stubbornly refuses
Alia just leaves Abel alone, as she knows she cannot change her mind
Later that night, Abel comes out of her room to take food downstairs
Abel hears noises again; so she wears her headphones, and quickly climbs the stairs
Suddenly, she feels something down her body
Abel looks down, and sees a ghost of a bloody man clinging to her legs, while looking at her
her screams wake up the others, and they immediately check Abel
They see her hiding underneath the blanket; so Alia asks Abel what happened
Abel shares that she is praying, so that the figure will leave
Abel pleads with her sister to believe her
Alia then suggests taking Abel to a new psychiatrist tomorrow, so her hallucinations will stop
Feeling offended, Abel informs Alia that their mother never took her to a psychiatrist,
but to a Psychic woman
Abel adds that her third eye has been opened,
since she was a child, causing her to be able to see the dead
So the following day, they visit the Psychic,
who explains all the things to know about the third eye
According to her, everyone has a third eye at their birth;
but only a few people are born with their third eye opened
The supernatural world is dark and unpleasant,
and causes nightmarish feelings to those who can see them
Abel had her third eye opened when she was five; and over time, she learned to accept it
However, Abel struggles to fight her fear, as these beings can instill an unusual fear in humans
After hearing all about that, Alia is still skeptical;
so she asks the Psychic to help open her third eye by force
Abel and Davin are shocked, while the Psychic warns Alia that once the third eye is opened,
there is no way of closing it back
Despite the warning, Alia still wants to do it,
and she informs Abel that they will go to a psychiatrist,
if she does not see ghosts once her third eye opens
Before she starts the ritual,
the Psychic reminds Alia that she will not just see these supernatural beings,
but also feel their presence, smell them, and hear their voices
And so, the Psychic performs the ritual, and finishes it within a few minutes
Alia wanders the room after that, expecting something to come out or happen; but nothing happens
Disappointed, Alia just orders the two to leave with her,
and firmly instructs Abel to go to school tomorrow
As Alia goes inside, she notices red marks on her arm
So, she decides to go to the hospital to get checked up
As Alia waits, she meets a beaten little girl in a wheelchair,
who claims that her father physically abuses her
The girl asks Alia to tell her mother, that she still loves her father despite everything
The girl points out to her mother, who is at the pharmacy
Alia prepares to do the favor, when the nurse calls her for her appointment
The doctor prescribes Alia vitamins, as she is just tired
After that, Alia goes to the pharmacy, where she sees the girl's mother still sitting there
Alia goes to her, and delivers the girl's message,
which offends the mother as her daughter died earlier in the morning
Alia is shocked by this but she refuses to believe it,
so she asks the nurse if she saw the little girl
However, the nurse informs Alia that she was sitting alone earlier
Overwhelmed by that, Alia runs to the restroom, and frantically calls Abel
Abel informs Alia that more supernaturals will show up, and they will even be scarier
Alia instructs Abel to come home; and then she suddenly hears the toilet flushes
Although scared, Alia checks the gap underneath the door, and sees a ghost of an old woman
Alia screams in fear but the spirit pierces through the door, and attacks her
Alia immediately runs outside, and promptly goes to the pharmacy to buy her vitamins
When she looks at her side,
she sees a spine-chilling ghost of an old man with a twisted head, staring at her
Alia immediately goes to the elevator to leave the hospital;
but it suddenly malfunctions for a few seconds
After the power returns, the elevator continues to go down
but then, Alia sees another ghost through her phone screen
Alia cries as she anxiously waits for her floor, while the spirit slowly approaches her
Fortunately, Alia reaches the parking lot before it grabs her;
so she immediately goes inside her car and drives away
However, Alia runs into a woman, on her way to the exit
Alia immediately stops the car, and checks the woman, who mysteriously disappeared
So Alia checks underneath her car, and sees the woman's feet
when she looks back up, she sees the ghost on the hood
Alia screams in terror and crawls back, while the spirit crawls towards her
Alia closes her eyes as she screams
she is petrified when a group of people approaches her, to ask what happened
Alia just ignores them, goes to her car, and leaves
Alia immediately goes to Abel, and hugs her as she gets home
After that, Abel shares her experiences with these disturbing beings
She says they are everywhere and comes out anytime;
and when they do, they cause terrible feelings to humans
Abel remembers what the Psychic said that she should suppress her fear,
so as to help the ghosts finish their unfinished business
Later that night, she sleeps with Abel while wearing headphones
Shortly after, Alia wakes up, as she feels something strange;
so she goes down to check if Davin is back; but she sees no one
As she goes to the kitchen, Alia sees a woman holding a knife
It suddenly appears in front of her; but it does not attack her for some reason
Right after that, she sees a little boy playing with trains
The boy suddenly stands up and charges at Alia, so she immediately runs away and hides
While she suppresses her fear, she hears the woman instructing the boy to get his dad for dinner
Although scared, Alia bravely asks the ghost family if they need help
And they answer, "house " as they cling to Alia's legs
Concurrently, Abel wakes up to pee, unaware that the ghost family is dragging Alia on the floor
Abel returns to the room, and finally notices that Alia is gone
so she searches for her
However, she encounters a boy hiding underneath the blanket
Abel immediately locks the door, as the boy attempts to barge in
Abel hears something in the cabinet; so she opens it, and sees Alia screaming with her legs scarred
The two sisters hug as they cry together
The following day, the sisters go to the Psychic, and tell her about last night's event
the Psychic informs them that the "house" the ghost family is talking about, might mean two things
It may refer to possessing their bodies, or to the house they are staying in
Once the ghosts succeed in possession, they will permanently live in the living world
After that, the group goes to the house, with the Psychic leading them with her detector
It spins counterclockwise, as they reach the room of Alia and Abel's parents
the Psychic instructs the sisters to communicate with the ghosts;
but she reminds them not to be afraid, as they will be easily possessed
After that, the sisters leave the room, and Davin talks to the Psychic
the Psychic shares that not all ghosts can see each other,
because some do not even realize they are dead
Later that day, the Psychic leads the sisters on communicating with the spirits
As they open their eyes, all of their consciousness travels to the past, except for Davin
While in the past, they see a burglar break through the window, and stole money from the safe
The father woke up, and immediately instructed his wife to call the police
However, the burglar sliced off the father's leg, then left the family locked in the cabinet
Right then, the trio returns to the present;
and the Psychic informs them that it is the Sumarno family
It turns out, the incident happened before the girls' parents bought the house
The Sumarno family bothered the new owners, as they disliked others living in their home
They might also possess the new owners to avenge their death
However, Alia refuses to leave, as the house is the only thing they inherited from their parents;
and she has insufficient money to buy another one
Therefore, the Psychic suggests opening a portal to help these souls get to their world
Before they start, the Psychic orders Davin to leave, as it will be too dangerous for him
Afterward, the sisters and the Psychic hold hands, as the Psychic opens the portal
Suddenly, Alia gets thrown; and she immediately loses consciousness from the impact
Alia's consciousness travels to the murder scene; and she cries beside the Sumarno family's corpses
However, the family suddenly rises, and tries to possess Alia
As Alia wakes up, she immediately attacks Abel and the Psychic
So the Psychic and Abel quickly tie Alia on the bed
The ghosts taunt the Psychic to remove them from the human world
the Psychic holds Abel's hand as she prays; but the ghosts are stronger
The lights go out; glasses break; and the bed starts to levitate
As they pray, the two suddenly return to the past,
where they finally discover the murderer is actually the gardener
The two return to the present, where the bed suddenly drops, with Alia still on it
Abel and the Psychic immediately try to hold Alia,
as she's already got possessed; but they get hurt
Alia forcefully frees herself and locks the two in the room,
while she drags pieces of wood from the bed
The two immediately break the door to stop Alia from killing the gardener;
but the front door suddenly locks
Meanwhile, while the gardener is in the living room, the light flicks until it finally breaks
So he goes to fix the breaker
He hears loud knocking on the door
When he opens it, Alia immediately hits him with a block of wood
The gardener attempts to fight back; but the possessed Alia is mush stronger than him
The ghosts finally speak, and ask if he remembers them
A flashback of what happened plays
he was formerly the sumarno family's gardener;
and during that time, his wife was experiencing a risky pregnancy
So he attempted to ask for his salary, but the father refused to pay him
In desperation, the gardener robbed the family; but it escalated into murder when he was exposed
Back to the present, the gardener locks the door, before the possessed Alia can chase him
However, Alia stabs the door with shears, that pierce through his body
Although wounded, the gardener still tries to run away from Alia; but she is more powerful than him
She cuts off his leg, and repeatedly stabs him
Concurrently, the Psychic and Abel try to break the door, while Alia cuts the old man's flesh
The two finally break the door; but the gardener is already dead
So they take down Alia, who suddenly transfers a black substance to Abel
The two sisters lose consciousness; but Alia quickly recovers
Unfortunately, Abel does not wake up;
and the Psychic informs Alia that the evil spirits have already taken Abel to their world
Following that, they and Davin accompany Abel to the hospital
the Psychic informs them that the only way for Abel to come back,
is if someone goes to the underworld to fetch her
Alia cannot go alone, as the living cannot be with the dead
Alia must be accompanied by something inhuman
the Psychic sees the confusion on her face; so she goes to Alia, and lets her know what she means
A flashback plays of the younger Alia and Abel with their mother
Alia and their mother check out Abel's school,
as she claims she saw someone on the counter; but the teachers found nothing
As they got busy, Alia sensed a presence over the corner,
who was a child's ghost that had a massive hole on her back
When Alia looked at the corner, she found no one
It turned out, Alia's third eye was already half-opened when she was a child
Back to the present, the Psychic informs Alia that she just helped her fully open her third eye
Then, the Psychic asks Davin if he can accompany Alia
then, another flashback plays,
with Davin in an accident that quickly killed him, while he was on the way to the coffee shop
However, Davin is unaware of this, so he lives like he is still alive
Davin was already dead, before he got into the coffee shop; but Alia does not know
Her boyfriend was dead all along
the Psychic informs them that they need to go together, holding hands;
so their energy can become one; and those evil spirits will not recognize Alia
Before the ritual starts,
the Psychic reminds them that they need to go to the tunnel with the light, once they get Abel back
Afterward, the ritual begins;
and within seconds, Davin and Alia get into the intersection, where they see lights at both ends
Davin marks their exit, before they submerge into the darkness
They walk slowly into the dark hallway, still holding each other's hands,
and encounter numerous evil spirits
Although scared, the two continue to walk, until they finally find Abel locked in a cage
Alia lets go of Davin's hand to break the lock
As soon as Abel is out, Abel informs Alia that someone wants her in the realm
Abel points out in the darkness; and the dead gardener comes out, charging at Alia
They immediately hold hands, so the gardener cannot see Alia
Then, the trio slowly leaves the darkness
However, they notice that the gardener is following them
At the intersection, they let Abel go into the light
After that, they bid goodbye; and Davin slowly lets go of Alia's hand
As soon as he does, the gardener runs towards Alia
but fortunately, the gate closes
After that, Davin runs to the other end, where he belongs
Two weeks later, Alia and Abel continue with their lives
Alia is in the bathroom brushing her teeth, when the showerhead suddenly turns on by itself
After that, she and Abel visit the Psychic to update her about their recent encounters with spirits
Abel shares that she encounters a ghost, that follows her from school to home;
and she's currently staying at the treehouse for a couple of days
the Psychic warns them to be careful, as these spirits might have a hidden agenda
The film ends with the two sisters suppressing their fears,
as they face the ghost of their childhood, who has a hole on her back
They have accepted their fate,
that their purpose is to help ghosts finish their unfinished business
