neutral · AI labelView post →My last review out of Fantastic Fest also happens to be my favorite by a country mile. GHOST IN THE CELL is Joko Anwar at his absolute best. I am obsessed with it. Like, ONE CUT OF THE DEAD level obsessed with it, but for different reasons. Watch it ASAP. www.fangoria.com/review-ghost...

A gory Indonesian horror comedy about prisoners dying one by one to an unseen entity that turning them all into mutilated art displays! #FilmSky #MovieSky #HorrorSky #Horror youtu.be/hg0KIhRgdY8
neutral · AI labelView post →Joko Anwar's GHOST IN THE CELL is my favorite horror movie of the year. Belly-busting laughs; outrageous gore; masterful tonal balance; unstoppable momentum. If you're lucky enough to have a screening nearby (currently in limited release), it's your duty to buy a ticket and have an absolute blast.
positive · AI labelView post →Incredible weekend at @mayhemfilmfestival.bsky.social as always. Highlights include the gnarly, class-conscious French slasher film Kraken (or No Way Down), the oddly heartwarming Indonesian supernatural gorefest Ghost in the Cell, and the hilarious New Zealand body horror Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant.

neutral · AI labelView post →OH I didn’t know that Indonesian horror master Joko Anwar (Impetigore) had a new movie play Berlinale! How exciting! It’s called GHOST IN THE CELL and it’s you guessed it about a ghost in a prison. I hope we don’t have to wait forever for this
neutral · AI labelView post →Joko Anwar's GHOST IN THE CELL, one of the best horror films of 2026, opens today; for @avclub.com, I have this mini-profile-cum-explainer where he gets into intent and subtext, and where I make the case that everybody should know his work. He's one of the modern greats.
positive · AI labelView post →Jeez, it's been a while since I've watched a film for Midnight Movie Madness. But it's time to get back on scheduled programming. Currently watching GHOST IN THE CELL by Joko Anwar.

positive · AI labelView post →The Indonesian import GHOST IN THE CELL is quite possibly the craziest prison movie ever made. Trying to even describe this picture was a challenge! It played at #FantasticFest and hits theaters on Oct. 2. Here's my review: aisleseat.com/ghost-in-the... #horrorsky #horror #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →#FantasticFest GHOST IN THE CELL is the most #FantasticFest movie this year. Evoking the best kitchen-sink films from of the mid-2010s. It's comedy, martial arts, bone-crunching gory violence, and dancing, all set in a dirty (both hygiene and corruption) Indonesian prison. Easily in my Top 3.

positive · AI labelView post →ICYMI: Just in time for Halloween, Joko Anwar's GHOST IN THE CELL is available on digital as of today.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ghost In The Cell (2026) – Review When your film has such a delicious pun for a title, you’d better make sure that the movie itself can match it for wit – but rest assured that Ghost In The Cell manages to live up to such a steep task, and them some. Directed by Joko Anwar, who is probably most famous for 2019’s Shudder offering, Impetigore, this prison-set horror/comedy initially seems to be the latest example of jaw-dropping brutality that tends to come out of Indonesia on a regular basis…

neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished Ghost in the Cell. Went into it expecting a few good scares, but my god, this movie was something else. Aside from the wholesome but kinda tepid ending, the movie was pretty awesome. From the camera movement in literally the first seconds of the film, it was clear a lot of care...
