Kalung Jelangkung (2011)
When Kiki and her friends are on a holiday in the village, they play the jelangkung inside an old building. Suddenly the jelangkung doll stirs and screams that her name is Yanti and that her boyfriend killed her when he made her pregnant. Terrified, they all flee the old building and Kiki strays into a cemetery. Kiki finds a necklace, and wears it. Later in Jakarta, Kiki falls ill, and deliriously mentions Yanti’s name. As the best doctors fail to cure her, they turn to a shaman for help. Kiki is taken back to the cemetery in the village. After returning the necklace, Yanti’s spirit possesses the shaman. When the necklace is passed to Benny, Kiki's friend, he is also possessed by Yanti’s spirit.

How sad is this?
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
