Reviews:
” …presents elements of gore in several scenes, especially during the night of the fight between the PKI and religious groups. Therefore, this film might be entertaining for those of you who like horror shows with gore elements. Apart from that, the make-up of several ghosts or zombies in this film is also quite convincing.” ★★ Kincir
“Although the jumpscares presented in this film are not always successful in surprising, there are several scenes that succeed in triggering tension and adrenaline in the audience. In terms of characterization, several seasoned actors succeeded in presenting interesting roles, although some logical irregularities in the story could be felt. Even so, this film provides a different experience with a surprising plot twist in the middle and end of the story.” Progress Kepahiang
“This horror film is unique because it presents a new premise based on history that is considered sensitive in Indonesia, and the moment it shows makes this film different from the others. Although there are several irregularities in the story and its special effect, the neat execution and historical connection to mystical values in the country make this film interesting to enjoy.” VOI
