User Reviews
“I had high expectations because of the hype, and it didn't disappoint. The atmosphere is genuinely creepy, and the sound design really gets under your skin. However, some scenes felt a bit dragged out, but overall it's a solid horror flick that respects the classics.”
“For me, it was too slow in the middle and relied too much on jump scares that didn't land. The acting was good, and the story had potential, but I've seen many Indonesian horror films that do the possession angle better. It felt a bit overrated.”
“This movie really got to me. The way it builds tension through the kids' perspective is brilliant, and the final act is a rollercoaster of fear. I loved the nods to 80s horror, and Joko Anwar's direction is top-notch. One of the better horror movies I've seen recently.”
“I appreciated the attempt to blend family drama with supernatural horror, and the visuals are stunning. But the scares weren't consistent, and the ending left me a bit confused. Still, it's worth a watch for fans of atmospheric horror, just don't expect constant frights.”
