Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Dyrnott – ★★★★☆
   “This movie is very nicely shot. First third of the movie is uneventful. Then it gets pretty good! The gore effects are nice and has many striking images! Written by Joko Anwar.”
2. SilentDawn – ★★★★☆
   “A gnarly, goopy, and gruesome horror show that is as much about the sins of the past as it is about the horrors of the present. The Queen of Black Magic is a remake that stands on its own, delivering a relentless barrage of scares and shocks that will leave you reeling.”
3. Ian West – ★★★★☆
   “The Queen of Black Magic is a brutal and unflinching horror film that doesn’t shy away from the grotesque. It’s a haunting tale of revenge and the supernatural that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
