User Reviews
RetroHorrorFan – 7/10
“I'm a sucker for obscure 80s horror, and this one didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the folklore angle makes it stand out from typical slashers. Sure, the acting is dated, but the creepy vibe more than makes up for it.”
ScaredyCat88 – 5/10
“It had some genuinely creepy moments, especially the underwater scenes. But the pacing was too slow for me, and I found the main characters a bit bland. It's an interesting cultural piece, but I wasn't fully gripped.”
GoddessOfTerror – 8/10
“I loved the blend of myth and reality! The idea of Nyi Roro Kidul as a modern-day model is genius. The director creates a palpable sense of unease, and the final act is chilling. A hidden gem for fans of international horror.”
CinemaSnob – 4/10
“I appreciate what it tries to do, but the execution falls flat. The special effects are laughable, and the story meanders. The folklore is interesting, but the film doesn't do it justice. Probably only for completionists of Indonesian horror.”
