Rating: 4/5

Joko Anwar’s Impetigore is a masterclass in atmospheric horror, blending Indonesian folklore with spine-tingling suspense to create a film that lingers long after the credits roll. This 2019 supernatural thriller follows Maya, a young woman who returns to her ancestral village in search of inheritance, only to uncover dark secrets and a curse that threatens her very existence.

Impetigore's ability to weave cultural richness into its horror sets it apart. The film delves deeply into traditional Javanese myths and rituals, creating a sense of authenticity that elevates the scares. The eerie village setting, with its shadowy forests and decaying houses, becomes a character in itself, oozing dread and unease.

The performances are stellar, with Tara Basro delivering a compelling portrayal of Maya, balancing vulnerability and determination. The supporting cast, particularly the villagers, adds layers of tension and unpredictability to the story.

While the pacing slows at times, the film more than makes up for it with its shocking twists and haunting visuals. The climax is both terrifying and emotionally resonant, tying together the themes of generational trauma and redemption.

Impetigore is a must-watch for horror fans seeking something fresh and culturally immersive. It’s a chilling reminder that sometimes, the most terrifying monsters are the ones rooted in our own past.
