  Review by Greg Dundee ★★

  Two sisters face off against a family of vengeful spirits in this Indonesian horror featuring not one, but two leg severing scenes. An obvious and at times tedious reworking of such films as The Sixth Sense and Insidious, The 3rd Eye is a film that struggles with its own identity. 

  Following the death of their parents, sisters Alia and Abel travel back to their family home along with Alia’s boyfriend Devin. Abel, having been victim to an attack by a supernatural entity in the house at a young age, is traumatised by returning to the property, and once there is again visited by entities with seemingly evil intentions. Hoping to get some idea of what her sister is going through, skeptical…

  Review by Stéphane Breton ★½ 2

  Cheap pops, miserable special effects, the movie basically copies every horror scenes that has worked before and just rips them off in a really bad way. It's a living cliche supported by painfully average acting and a far too long run time. There is no surprises in this movie and you can see everything coming miles away. The dialogues are so cheesy it's ridiculous. The ending is not too horrible.

  Spoiler kali!

  Ortu Alia baru tewas kecelakaan.

  Omnya: kamu yg tabah ya. *ekspresi Om, notabene adik/kakak salah satu ortu Alia, ya datar aja. Kesannya saudaranya gakpapa.

  Ini paling keren, jawaban Alia pas disuruh omnya tabah.
  "Udah takdir. Udah jalannya."

  😮

  Seorang anak, baru ditinggal mati mendadak ortunya beberapa jam lalu, langsung tabah dan tawakal secara instan.

  
  Kalo setan bisa nerbangin kasur, kenapa dia butuh tubuh manusia buat bunuh orang? Terbangin aja gunting rumputnya ke leher Mang Asep, tanpa bantuan Alia.

  Emang begok nih penulis eh setan.

  Terus bagaimana Mang Asep tahu kunci kombinasi brankas majikannya? Kurang semenit, kebuka itu brankas.

  Aku suka dandanan setannya. Mata menyala. Anak setan main kereta mainan. Si emak motong wortel. Endingnya memang agak gory. Cuma…

  It's a little hokey at times but I really enjoyed this Asian horror film that is somewhat of a mix between The Sixth Sense and Insidious, but not as good as either of those films.

  Strange mixture of 6th Sense, The Exorcist and Asian horror movies. It has moments were I thought this is quite entertaining only to realise seconds later that it’s not.

  A History of Horror 2019
  Week 3 Indonesia

  Mata Batin uses all the tropes of hunted house, ghosts and possession genres and put them all together, but good ingredients doesn't make a good meal.
  There is no tension, every scene is so predictable. The special effects are terrible, it is time to stop using crappy cgi and return to use handmade special effects again.
  A minute of silence for the most useless character ever made, Davin (until a so much hinted twist).
