Among the elements are bad retribution for those who practice magic, a horrible death at the end of life, ruqyah verses taken from the Qur'an and Hadith as well as the presence of religious people such as Ustaz and so on. Therefore, the inclusion of Islamic elements in horror films makes it one of the works of Islamic literature and needs to be criticized to coincide with the critique of Islamic literature. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the critique of Islamic literature proposed by Muhammad Qutb on the main characters of the films Munafik 2 (2018) and Makmum (2019). Both films were selected as study samples. This study is a qualitative study that uses a descriptive method of analysis, which is to collect data sourced from the Qur'an and Hadith from Sahih Bukhari and Muslim, as well as analyze the main characters in both films and categorize the basis of Islamic literary criticism using codes. The study data are discussed in detail to identify the critique of Islamic literature and the analysis of the main characters with support from the Qur'an and Hadtih from Sahih Bukhari and Muslim. The study concludes that the findings show some of the main characters in both films fit to the principles of Islamic literary criticism proposed by Muhammad Qutb.

Among them are the presence of jinn characters as one of the characters in the film to replace ghost, human evil that exceeds jinn and devils, and the existence of false religious people that sided with them. However, there are some concepts and ideas that have only been the trends of previous Islamic horror films due to superficial understanding of the term ‘Islamic horror film’ among film directors, and eventually led to the existence of misleading Islamic horror films. Guided by the method of descriptive analysis, the film Ruqyah: The Exorcism (2017) was analyzed by supporting with it some hadiths of the Prophet S.A.W, to issue the confusions in it. The findings concluded that there are three confusions in the film, namely Mahisa’s role as the main character, three ruqyah scenes that are inaccurate with true Islamic medical, and the failure of Rijal al- Din’s character in the film. All three of these confusions have made this film a confusing Islamic horror film, and have a probability to be removed as a true Islamic horror film.

Although originally horror films were criticized for only focusing on paranormal entities and jump scare, but along with the era of horror films that incorporated Islamic elements and things related to it has the potential to be wasilah dakwah, in accordance with Islamic literary criteria. Even so, it is not an accurate benchmark as long as there are some vanities mixed together with the element of haq even though it is present from the art of the film director's creativity. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the accuracy of the art of Islamic literary creativity which is the basic proposal of Islamic literary criticism by Muhammad Qutb, against the three themes of the film Dabbe: The Possession (2013). This study is a qualitative study that uses descriptive methods of analysis, which is to collect data sourced from Al-Quran and Al-Hadith from Sahih Bukhari and others, if necessary, as well as analyze the themes in the film and categorize them using codes. The research data is discussed in detail to identify Islamic literary criticism and theme analysis with support from Al-Quran and Al-Hadith as prescribed. The study concludes that the three themes chosen to do not coincide with the art of Islamic literary creativity as suggested by Muhammad Qutb, as it has the potential to convey untrue beliefs to Muslim audiences.
