Reception
Unlike Jose Poernomo's 2001 film Jelangkung, whose success was credited with reviving the Indonesian horror film genre,Template:Sfn Angkerbatu was panned by critics, who were not impressed with the film despite it being promoted as having the same production team as Jelangkung.[5] Public opinion of Angkerbatu prior to its release was negative, calling the film "cheesy" and accusing it of piggybacking on the popularity of horror films.[3] Film critic Ekky Imanjaya lamented the absence of religious elements from the film, such as a religious teacher or prayer to ward off demons, a contrast to Jelangkung.Template:Sfn He noted that the film reintroduced the recurring comic relief character Bokir, which had been absent from Indonesian films since 2000.Template:Sfn
