A Haunted Doll, a Mother's Despair, and the Price of Unanswered Longing
Spirit Doll is a 2023 Indonesian horror film directed by Azhar Kinoi Lubis, known for his work on Mangkujiwo and Kafir: A Deal with the Devil. This psychological thriller explores the devastating impact of loss and the perilous paths grief can lead us down. The story centers on Dara Lazuardi (Anya Geraldine), a renowned horror actress grappling with the tragic death of her daughter, Embun, and the collapse of her marriage to Darius (Samuel Rizal). As Dara attempts to rebuild her life, she is drawn into a new film project titled Puppet Spirits. During production, a doll eerily resembling Embun arrives at her doorstep. Initially disturbed, Dara soon becomes convinced that the doll harbors her daughter's spirit, leading her into a spiral of delusion and madness. As Dara's attachment to the doll deepens, those around her begin to suffer. Her housekeeper, Mbok, and others close to her meet untimely and mysterious deaths. The line between reality and hallucination blurs, and Dara's mental state deteriorates. Unbeknownst to her, her trusted friend Jenny (Elina Joerg) harbors a dark secret. Driven by jealousy and unrequited love for Darius, Jenny orchestrates a sinister plot involving black magic and manipulation to destroy Dara's life from within . Critics have noted that while Spirit Doll boasts a compelling premise and atmospheric tension, it falters in execution. The film's special effects and dialogue have been described as lacking, with some reviewers pointing out inconsistencies in the plot and character development . Despite these shortcomings, the film offers a haunting exploration of how unresolved grief and vulnerability can make one susceptible to malevolent forces. Spirit Doll taps into the rich tapestry of Indonesian folklore and the cultural fascination with spirit dolls—objects believed to house spirits and bring fortune or misfortune. The film serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of clinging to the past and the lengths to which one might go to reclaim what has been lost. For viewers interested in psychological horror rooted in cultural mythos, Spirit Doll presents a chilling narrative that examines the intersection of sorrow, obsession, and the supernatural.
