Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. crushedopinions – ★★★☆☆
   “One of the creepiest opening scenes to a horror movie I’ve ever seen. The evil vampire-witch thingy chick is terrifying, and she goes after infants and pregnant women, which just piles on more creepiness. She looked like a Leatherface variant.”

2. Smokin’ Garfield – ★★½☆☆
   “When Grandmother Grondong flies in to the sounds of Ming the Merciless’s theme from 1980’s Flash Gordon, seconds later, she impales a dude with a balsa wood tombstone! Now this is a real GMILF (Grandmother…).”

3. Assignments – ★★★☆☆
   “A village defends itself against a vampiric old woman and a possessed child. This starts VERY strong with a lot of demonic grandmother and creepy kid stuff… but the middle section gets bogged down a bit.”

Meta Description:
Rare 1982 Indonesian horror film Long-Haired Grandmother (also known as Nenek Gondrong) unleashes supernatural terror through a vampiric old woman preying on villagers. A cult gem perfect for fans of Southeast Asian folklore horror.
