Reviews:
“The confrontation between the protagonist and antagonist actually seems sluggish. It’s as if the goal of the script is to maximize the quantity of victims to close the story. What is certain is that the climax will be more tense if the supernatural element is removed. The performances of Taskya and Yasamin, each of whom is often referred to as a scream queen, will be maximized there.” 5/10 Notes of Hobbies [translated from Indonesian]
