== Development ==
''Angkerbatu'' is an adaptation of a novel of the same title by Ruwi Meita.<ref>{{Cite news | last = Sugihardiyah | first = Rita | date = 20 April 2007 | title = Angker Batu | url = https://www.kapanlagi.com/foto/berita-foto/indonesia/angker-batu.html | url-status = live | language = Indonesian | publisher = KapanLagi.com | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101006063815/https://www.kapanlagi.com/foto/berita-foto/indonesia/angker-batu.html | archive-date = 6 October 2010 | access-date = 21 January 2023}}</ref> Director Jose Poernomo labeled the genre of the film as "atmospheric horror". He also noted that the novel tells the story of the film in greater detail.<ref name="Detik1" /> The film received a premiere screening on 21 April 2007,<ref name="KapanLagi Imelda" /> and it opened in theaters on 26 April.<ref name="Detik1" /> It was one of a "deluge" of Indonesian horror films released in 2007.{{sfn|Imanjaya|2019|p=26}}
== Reception ==
Unlike Jose Poernomo's 2001 film ''[[Jelangkung (film)|Jelangkung]]'', whose success was credited with reviving the [[Indonesian horror]] film genre,{{sfn|Barker|2019|pp=92–93}} ''Angkerbatu'' was panned by critics, who were not impressed with the film despite it being promoted as having the same production team as ''Jelangkung''.<ref>{{Cite news | date = 25 April 2007 | title = Angkerbatu: Misteri Kota Keramat | language = Indonesian | url = https://hot.detik.com/premiere/d-772445/angkerbatu-misteri-kota-keramat | publisher = [[detik.com]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201106122843/https://hot.detik.com/premiere/d-772445/angkerbatu-misteri-kota-keramat | archive-date = 6 November 2020 | access-date = 21 January 2023}}</ref> Public opinion of ''Angkerbatu'' prior to its release was negative, calling the film "cheesy" and accusing it of piggybacking on the popularity of horror films.<ref name="KapanLagi Imelda" /> Film critic Ekky Imanjaya lamented the absence of religious elements from the film, such as a religious teacher or prayer to ward off demons, a contrast to ''Jelangkung''.{{sfn|Imanjaya|2019|pp=34–35}} He noted that the film reintroduced the recurring [[comic relief]] character Bokir, which had been absent from Indonesian films since 2000.{{sfn|Imanjaya|2019|pp=35–36}}
