Sabrina (2018) User Reviews

It's the never ending movie.

[ashe6112 · 3/10 · 25 November 2018]

Ever wonder what Kenny G would look like if he were to be possessed? Wonder no more. Some parts were good. Others made me wonder why I haven't stopped the movie. I really didn't care how it ended... so I opened Pinterest and had it playing on in the background. Husband fell asleep.

Mix between mamma and anabelle

[lacho-96072 · 3/10 · 21 November 2018]

This is a bad mix between Guillermo del Toro's mamma and anabelle from the conjuring. Nothing special about this film... probably if you have nothing to do you May watch this one... do not have high expectations...

Not scary

[philippakoh · 4/10 · 22 October 2020]

The story line wasn't as good as the other movies and it was definitely not as scary...

Turn off your laptop and just go to sleep.

The concept of the movie is way behind 80s horror movies. I reckon that I can act better than the cast in the movie. It was the worst movie I've ever seen in recent 2 years. I think a personal Youtuber can create a better film than this. Maybe you just can go watch Youtube instead.

Could have been better if this was made entirely as a conjuring spoof

[shirishdutta-77476 · 1/10 · 29 November 2018]

Extremely funnny movie, which starts of with cheap thrills in the first half and moves on to become a conjuring spoof with funny cgi and some extremely funny acting and it also has a very irritating kid

It is cheesy but fun.

[parkmanjohn · 5/10 · 22 November 2018]

This is a very cheesy but colorful and an adventure full horror movie. I would say this is targeted more towards pre-teens. Don't expect much though, the writing and acting is garbage.

[Edvis-1997 · 3/10 · 21 November 2018]

Overrated, boring ,stupid plot film. No point to waste time for this trash.

Lousy

[tengkuaiez · 1/10 · 30 November 2018]

Cheesy script. Acting is totally bad. A conjuring wannabe kind of movie. Waste of time.

Sabrina: Not even remotely what you'll expect guaranteed

[Platypuschow · 6/10 · 17 December 2018]

Sabrina is a neat little film ruined by a number of flaws that prevent it from being something really special.

This Indonesian made Netflix original at first glimpse you'd assume is a killer doll-esque movie, but that couldn't be further from the truth. If you're looking for Chucky or Robert the doll you'll be sorely disappointed, this is more your possession type film.

Now regarding the possession sub-genre I generally don't like them, the tropes they hold tend to bore me but thankfully they throw most of them out the window here and go for something somewhat more exciting.

Now I can't say much about the plot without giving something away so I'll not bother. I will however say that when the story is finally laid out in front of you I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, it's well constructed and very much not predictable.

Again as mentioned sadly the film does have its flaws, a couple regard the story and one near the end took this down from a potential 7 to 6. Another is the lack of consistency, it plays out like a serious horror yet has moments of ultra cheesiness that ruin the atmosphere altogether.

Regardless this is a very fun, exciting and oddly scary in places little film that is not what you'd expect it to be. Despite my underwhelming rating I would recommend this.

The Good:

Surprisingly well constructed plot

Some genuinely creepy moments

The Bad:

Some poor camerawork

Bizarre soundtrack choices

Oddly cheesy in places

Silly finale

I struggled to tell the two leading ladies apart

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I'm left wondering if the casting director specifically sought out the sickest looking girl they could for the role

Demonic possession causes nose growth

What child would want that toy?

[antonsands · 2/10 · 29 November 2018]

The movie has a potential of being a scary movie but creativity and mastering are not there. The doll is the scariest toy I have ever seen. Production of a ghost, ohhh gosh what was that? Original Exorcist 1973 without CGI did a phenomenal job in creating Regan spooky. Play of several actors is... people, get another jobs. Bad dialogues made the movie silly. Bad lighting and sound. How performers' running on foot from factory to the house and back. I thought the toy factory is located miles from the house. They got on Netflix though. Terrible.

Rating 10 for insane humor

[conanosiris · 10/10 · 18 May 2020]

Forget getting scared, this movie is hilarious. Im seriously rating it 10 for humor, it has been a while since i laughed so hard with ANY movie. Thank you.

Annabelle's Sister From Another Mister

[thewakenarrative · 7/10 · 13 January 2019]

Sabrina (Beware there may be spoilers) In this Indonesian take on Annabelle, a toy maker and his family become haunted by a disturbing Weird Al Yankovic look-alike Sabrina doll. Living with her aunt and uncle, Vanya is still grieving over the loss of her mother (apparently not her mother AND father). She plays a game of Charlie, Charlie to summon the spirit of her passed mom. Charlie, Charlie is a rendition of the Ouija Board where a pencil (yup, neck pencil strikes again) turns on its own to answer questions with a "yes" or "no". Well surprise, the game is real and summons an evil spirit. Vanya thinks she's getting lost time with her mother (who of course only she can see) but as time passes and a few wicked events occur, even her aunt and uncle begin to catch on. They hire Laras and Raynard; the demon ridding team - spoiler, they were hired to help with Vanya's mother as well! This all would have been avoided if only they noticed the creep factor of the Sabrina doll right away! Most downloaded app: Spirit Detector. How many spirits have you detected?? Can we get this app please!? Best trickery: Closing the doors on entities. You can't get in!! Haha just kidding you're a spirit that can go anywhere. Why does this only work sometimes? Best use of English: The whole movie is in Indonesian, so reading subtitles was a must. However, there were words spoken in English randomly thrown in throughout the movie. #didijustlearnindonisian?? Overall Grade: B(een spending most our lives, living in an Amish Paradise)

For when you're bored

[whats_up_mari · 3/10 · 23 November 2018]

You know when you wanna watch something but like using only 30% of your brain? That's the movie. Bad movie, but a good distraction. It's not actually scary though.

Don't watch please

[mohamed_flifl · 1/10 · 10 December 2018]

This movie doesn't make any sense, that's why it turns into a comedy movie, please, don't watch

BELOW AVERAGE

[quyaajanemell · 1/10 · 18 October 2018]

I was excited when this movie was released . but after seeing it ? Worst worst worst .Yeah, it's not good . Jeremy Thomas ? he can't act at all .

Not bad, not great.

[hasanbolkiah-91427 · 5/10 · 10 February 2019]

Sabrina consists of typical horror cliches here and there. Some good scares but not a unique story. The plot consists of the usual "possessed person." In this case, includes a doll, which of course seems similar to films like Annabelle. The story tends to extend itself for what it is. A story that can be probably cut shorter but goes too long for what it is, making the plot weak. The shots were alright, not too fancy but not a terribly shot film. Good job to the make up but the effects seemed to be stuck on a budget certain scenes, which shows in some scenes. Overall, the movie is just okay. A flat 5/10 for good scares but not a great story

Pfffff

[sangolongo · 1/10 · 23 December 2018]

Una de las películas más ridículas que he visto en mi vida, es un 0

A Laughathon !!

[mhtmehta · 2/10 · 24 April 2020]

The movie is terrible and it feels never ending. The acting is pathetic. The make up is overdone. And can somebody explain why and how that woman ninja fights a demon in the end? I laughed so hard in that part.

Marginally better than the Doll 2 in some ways but then loses the plot a bit.

[el7 · 6/10 · 16 August 2020]

I would categorize this is 5 and 3/4 stars. It's a little better than The Doll 2, but not a whole lot better. It seems the production had more money to work with, and it shows on the screen, with more gore, more full body shots of the demon in full demon effect, and better CGI. However, there are some odd story choices. Maira's back with a brand new man, and she sure knows how to pick 'em. No mention of why she ditched husband number one, although it's hard to blame her, but she didn't do herself any favors with her apparent whirlwind romance with husband number two, Aiden. The two of them are raising Aiden's orphaned niece, Vanya. The little girl misses her mother Andini and finds out from a school friend about a way to communicate with the afterlife. It's not long before Maira's haunted again and needs help once more from Laras, who also has a brand new man. There's a hilariously unnecessary scene where they apologize to each other for not inviting each other to each other's weddings. There are a lot of hilariously unnecessary scenes padding the runtime of this movie, just like the previous two. It seems that they need to be two hours for some reason, even though there's not really two hours worth of plot to work with. At least there are more spooky set pieces, although a lot of them have clearly lifted the story beats from the Annabelle series and the Ouija series. There's one really good set piece during the family vacation where Maira follows the sounds of a piano to an empty lounge and discovers that they didn't leave their supernatural problem back at the house. There's also a grand finale featuring two beautiful women getting stabby with each other, just like the film right before this one. The practical effects are as good as ever, although the prosthetic nose that reveals the demon's body hopping starts to get funny after a while. Also funny: a subplot out of nowhere about how Laras's new husband went on a quest to get her a demon-stabbing sword without ever mentioning it to her until the eleventh hour. You'd think that Maira would be kind of suspicious of the Sabrina doll after what happened last time, but nope. And when the culprit who started the mess gets caught, you can't help but wonder how on earth a court of law is supposed to prosecute for that. I'll probably keep watching the series, though. It's still better than a lot of stuff on streaming.

Worst possesed doll movie

[jenellenelson · 1/10 · 28 November 2018]

I've seen dozens of possessed doll movies and this is by far one if the worst I've ever seen. I actually almost fell asleep. I'm terrified of dummies so i figured I'd get a good scare, and goosebumps made me jump more than this nonsense.

Cool

[justin-w-nadolski · 9/10 · 30 November 2018]

This is a great horror/supernatural tale with great make-up, acting, and cinematography. If you are a true fan of international film, then look no further for the next two hours! You will not be disappointed.

Everything you need

[gnperalta · 7/10 · 26 November 2018]

This movie has everything you need in your life: horror, stabbing, Hollywood clichés and a curly demon.

Very funny!

[lukeps · 1/10 · 26 November 2018]

If you want to laugh, that's the movie for you. If you want to be scared... Sorry, you better find another movie to watch.

This movie is efing joke!

[jays0n · 1/10 · 28 December 2018]

Poor scripting, acting, EVERYTHING! Filipino cheap horror film is way better than this crap!

Nothing new here

[ladybugforever-77992 · 1/10 · 8 January 2019]

Started out OK progressed down hill. Nothing original here. Something to pass the time better would have been a book, on anything!! Don't waste your time on this movie. Donald Duck is more entertaining.
