Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Angelica Jade Bastién – ★★★★☆
   “This is why I love cinema, baybee. The kills are drenched in blood and body-altering gore. The portrayal of black magic allows the actors to get sculptural. It’s lean and mean. Murni, played by Suzzanna, has swiftly become one of my favorite cinematic witches.”
2. Steve G – ★★★★☆
   “A real hoot from start to finish that also does some interesting things with the notions of good and evil and puts together a genuinely engaging story with a nice twist or two. Obviously, the gore effects are the floor-fillers here, and with justification. The flying head scene is probably the best thing I’ve seen all year.”
3. Robert – ★★★★☆
   “Great fun with a simple but effective storyline. Toxic masculinity leads a woman to learn black magic so she can have revenge on the men who wronged her. The story arc is very engaging and I loved the characters, especially Suzzanna as our conflicted protagonist.”
