Critics Consensus

Despite a strong local folklore hook and a two-million-admission theatrical run, critics found this haunted-highway horror overstuffed and unfocused, packing too many ideas into its runtime without settling on a consistent scare or a clear emotional throughline.

What is Alas Roban about?

When their bus breaks down on the notoriously haunted Alas Roban route through Central Java, nurse Nursita and her visually impaired daughter Gendis are stranded overnight in the forest. As the hours pass, Gendis begins to develop an unsettling second sight, and Nursita realizes the legends surrounding the road are more than superstition.
