Harjono Parser
reference
Harjono Parser’s name pops up a lot these days, and honestly, it’s no wonder—people can’t stop talking about Qodrat (2022), The Devil’s Lair (2023), and the much-hyped Qodrat 2 (2025). Parser’s work carries a certain punch—like, you don’t just watch his movies, you feel them, especially if you’ve got a soft spot for supernatural horror with a bit of local flavor. Qodrat, for instance, takes the whole exorcism game and flips it on its head, dragging you through a world where faith gets tangled up with raw fear, and nothing feels safe. The Devil’s Lair? Well, that one’s even grittier, digging deep into humanity’s darkest corners in a way that’s almost too real. Parser doesn’t pull punches. His direction’s got this edge—raw, unpredictable, and, at times, straight-up unsettling.
Then there’s Qodrat 2, which people are already buzzing about, and for good reason. If the first film left you with goosebumps, buckle up. Parser’s not the type to just recycle scares; he’ll twist your expectations until you’re not sure what’s real anymore. The dude knows how to keep an audience on their toes. Across his films, you’ll catch a thread of tension that just doesn’t let go—ever. It’s not just about the ghosts or demons, it’s about the stuff lurking inside people, the fears they drag around, and the way faith can be both a weapon and a curse. Parser’s movies? They stick with you, long after the credits roll.
