Well done horror. It has some legitimately disturbing scenes and disturbing plot. This is not a shudder original as I do not think this was made of or by Shudder so no need to worry about the generally poor quality of their original content. There were some actual scary points in the film which is rare for horror these days. It would be nice if there were some information about the symbolism and folklore as I think some of that is lost on western audiences. 100% worth a watch
i recommend watching this one!
I can't believe how creepy and scary this actually ended up being. Everything about it was perfect the characters the scary backstory , great execution no wonder it is in the scariest section. One of the better Indonesian flicks here. Made me jump a few times for sure.
This could've been a better movie. It is 2 hours long, and the plot isn't reallyy there. It takes almost 35 mins for things to actually get good and for the scare factor to start happening. I feel like the money went to the CGI rather than the plot.
Wow this is really good. Not quite as scary as I was expecting, but still brings it more than most. Takes some time getting in, but the payoff wouldn't have been the same without the setup. And once it starts it doesn't let up. Very well-paced, tense as hell, and loads of gnarly body horror. The mirror scene was especially disturbing.
