3.5/5BMR estimate
Raktim Nandi · Grimoire of Horror · 15 Oct 2026
“The director builds effective atmosphere and tension, though the dialogue feels artificial. Despite minor flaws, the atmospheric storytelling and strong visuals make it an enjoyable release.”
Read full review ↗Why this score?
The critic gave no star rating, so BMR estimated one from the words of the review. The strongest praise highlights the film's sharp audiovisual competence, atmospheric storytelling, and refreshing narrative control within a stagnant cinematic landscape. The strongest criticism notes that the dialogue feels artificial and overly verbose due to misplaced dialect and phrasing. This balance of clear technical and stylistic flaws alongside strong atmospheric merit lands the film on a positive rating wit. How estimates work

3.5/5BMR estimate
Don Anelli · Asian Movie Pulse · 6 Nov 2025
“The indie horror successfully blends folk traditions and psychological tension into an intriguing story, but the early pacing feels unnecessarily sluggish and dragged out.”

The critic gave no star rating, so BMR estimated one from the words of the review. The critic praises the film for its intriguing blend of folk horror, strong supernatural confrontations, and effective low-budget atmosphere. However, it is criticized for a sluggish and dragged-out pace during the lethargic first half. These clear flaws combined with an overall positive verdict land the review on a 3.5 rating.
