Reviews from Letterboxd

1. CinemaVoid — ★★½

“When an evil nymphomaniac crocodile queen summons you to her papier-maché cave for a wild orgy you hop on a flying boulder and hurry.”

2. Lou (doesn’t rhyme with booh! 👻) — ★★★

“Not as over-the-top and brainmelty (that’s a word, right?) as I like my Indonesian folk fantasies”

3. Aberrant Ghoul — ★★★½

“A bizarre concoction of 80s fantasy, martial arts shenanigans, and low-budget-high-effort filmmaking… with crocodile people and guys riding around on flying boulders!”

4. Bob McCully — ★★★½

“This Indonesian ripper is a bonkers mix of fantasy, action, and horror, with each genre touched upon like a mystical smoke pooling around the high-wire spectacle.”

5. 13beersl8r — ★★★★

“If your film doesn’t have a giant rock cyclops then why are you even talking to me?”
