Decent enough with a decent story. Nice visuals and characters you will care about. Definitely worth a watch, kind of like The Mummy 1999 with Brendan Fraser

I enjoyed this movie. From the trailers, I came into this thinking it would be scarier but overall it was a good story. I would recommend others to watch.

Bloody Disgusting

Jae-hyun Jang combines introspective cultural and historical themes with creepy, gory, and atmospheric horror thrills in an exciting way. It’s fun horror with a lot on its mind.

Rated: 4/5

Sight & Sound

It makes up for its paucity of scares through the multiple layers of weirdness that it excavates, as one (burial) plot leads to another and as legacy, whether genetic or national, has unseen depths.

Strong Female Antagonist

Exhuma fires on all cylinders with a strong cast, an interesting approach to folklore, and a spooky creature design. The only problem is the more is more approach akin to ordering everything on the menu at a five star restaurant.

Rated: B

I spent a weekend in the theaters watching horror films, and “Exhuma” was so far ahead of the pack that it was not even sporting. It was meaningful, gorgeous, well-acted and unpredictable.

The inclusion of rituals and ceremonies with historical influences craft a tangible world the story exists in… not necessarily adding undeniable plausibility, but certainly introducing disturbing situations steeped in beliefs and tradition.

Rated: 4/5
