When I watched Jelangkung (2002) I couldn't help but feel frustrated about the bad music, the bad camerawork, and the terrible acting.
Beside that I kept on laughing, cause it wasn't scary at all, even though all the teenagers behind me kept on screaming like crazy.
Nevertheless, it was a box-office hit no one could ignore, and the makers of the movie decided to invest the fresh earned money in a sequel.
Tusuk Jelangkung (2003) is deffinately a sequel that is better than the first one. The story continues and explains more about what happened when the little boy was killed for being suspected to be posessed by an evil spirit. During the movie you first think it is one gigantic commercial for Honda (The Japanese car indeed), Clear (shampoo), Telkom (handphones/phoneservice) and alike, but at the end you realize it is a movie after all.
Let not forget to give credit to the cinematography. It is really great, and that makes it worth to watch this movie. Cause the acting doesn't reach any higher level than in the first movie, and the music is often louder than the actor's voices. But in general, camerawork, decor, sound and editing is much better, and therefore not 1 out of 10 (like with the first one), but 5 out of 10.
