About This Movie

Hantu Jamu Gendong is an intriguing piece in the horror genre. The film follows Kafka, who’s skeptical about the supernatural, yet finds himself encountering a ghostly figure who appears as a woman with a medicine basket. It plays with themes of belief and the unseen, creating a disquieting atmosphere that lingers. The pacing is somewhat slow, which lets the tension build, but the practical effects are what truly stand out, adding a tangible quality to the ghostly encounters. The performances are earnest, particularly in capturing Kafka's disbelief and eventual dread. It’s a blend of cultural folklore and modern existentialism, making it distinctive in its approach to horror, rather than just relying on jump scares.
