About
If you enjoy Indonesian folk-horror with ritual traditions, creeping dread, and a mix of emotional drama and supernatural menace, this may work for you; Not for you if you want nonstop scares or simple plotting like Danur.
Pros: strong folklore atmosphere; memorable dance rituals; steady slow-burn dread | Cons: uneven pacing; confusing story beats; tension fades later
