The Elixir is an incredibly well made Indonesian Horror movie, tailored to the international market, with its own version of a Zombie Apocalypse that is interesting to watch. Many viewers criticizes it for its characters 'lapses of logic':haven't they seen a zombie movie before? But hey, this is set in the Indonesian rural area after all. Anyway worth a watch albeit gets repetitive neaar the end.
Indonesia isn’t exactly famous for its zombie movies, but The Elixir of Immortality turns out to be a pleasant surprise. It doesn’t try to reinvent anything, yet it delivers what matters: action, blood, and pure **** premise is familiar —a failed experiment gone wrong— but it works. Everything starts with a supposed rejuvenating elixir that, of course, ends up turning people into the undead. What’s nice is how fast things spiral out of control; the movie skips explanations and throws you straight into the madness.Visually, it’s above average for this kind of production. The practical effects are surprisingly solid: the transformations, the gore, and the chaos are handled with energy and not too much CGI. It’s rough around the edges, but there’s charm in the way it embraces the **** script doesn’t go far —characters make ridiculous choices, and the family drama barely holds up— yet it all somehow works. There’s a certain unintentional humor and a sense of chaos that make it oddly **** Elixir of Immortality is pure B-movie fun: loud, gory, and with an energy that’s hard to resist. Don’t look for depth —just sit back and enjoy nearly two hours of old-school zombie mayhem.
This one is a trip almost immediately, and we get to see some shenanigans afoot. This film is at the very least creative in some aspects and yet still follows the tropes of the genre. It does have a cool and unique feature, I hope sci-fi fans will appreciate it.
Filme sem sentido, dá raiva ver os personagens tão burros e um gênero tão ultrapassado/genérico igual zumbi que tem filmes e séries tão boas , que poderiam servir de exemplo sinceramente esse filme passou longe, um dos piores filmes que já assisti.
