Movie Review: Joko Anwar Turns Lockup into Pure Hell in ‘Ghost in the Cell’

Master of Indonesian horror and action cinema Joko Anwar is back to unleash another chaotic, blood-drenched nightmare upon genre fans with Ghost in the Cell. Written and directed by Anwar, the film plunges audiences straight into the iron-clad walls of a high-security prison. Already bursting at the seams with violence.

Spoiler-Free Review: Her Will Be Done

Official synopsis In a remote village, Nawojka grapples with dark urges she believes stem from an ancestral curse. Her world shifts when Sandra moves in next door, offering a glimpse of freedom from her family’s rigid control. Review Director Julia Kowalski’s Her Will Be Done (Que ma volonté soit faite; France/Poland, 2026) is a scathing look at the dominance of males — most of them poorly behaved and some outright dangerous — in a rural French village, and the desire of two young women to break free from that society. At least one of them has occult powers that may make that possible.  Nawojka (Maria Wrobel) is a young woman whose Polish family  has  moved to a rural French village.

Nawojka’s
