Kimo Stamboel of the Mo Brothers, who has worked extensively not only in Indonesia but also abroad, came to us with a Joko Anwar’s screenplay. After showing the characters and planting some horror signs at the start of the story, the director pushes the vintage Gore style horror without a hitch. A powerful fear that pushes the theme of evil's ordinary face and the return of repression and revenge to the end. (Ellen. Y. D. KIM)
