What to Know

Critics Consensus

Impetigore uses its folk horror setting as the brutally effective backdrop for a supernatural story that sinks its hooks into the viewer and refuses to let go.

Peter Sobczynski RogerEbert.com An uncommonly effective film that is smart and provocative in addition to being all kinds of creepy. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 23, 2020 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety [T]his handsome and atmospheric production is good, sometimes grisly fun that's not terribly scary, particularly once hectic climactic events prove less suspenseful than the slow-burn buildup. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com A clumsy bit of black magic horror only book-ended by freaky greatness. Jan 31, 2020 Full Review Jason Shawhan Nashville Scene We've got unspeakable curses, some wayang shadow puppetry that is essential to the plot...sins of the family, baroque gore, ghost children, a little bit of Oldboy, some folk horror and a magnificent central performance from Basro. Sep 10, 2021 Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film Horror buffs probably won't want to miss Impetigore, but its lackluster ending leaves a good bit to be desired. Rated: 3 / 5 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Harris Dang Their Own League Impetigore is an above-average horror effort from Anwar that although it doesn't measure up to Satan's Slaves; he is still one of the most consistent genre filmmakers working today. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo d Assim como a maioria dos filmes de terror orientais, o que eles prezam mais é um bom roteiro, que seja desenhado de forma lenta e com isso ir cativando o expectador. Aqui existe a dose de humor caricata também, mas não apaga o peso da história e da ambientação. Não dou uma nota máxima pelo seu clímax não ter me comovido como esperava, mas ainda assim é uma boa história. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Chris A One of the best folk horror movies ever! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Dan T Solid horror movie. Great pacing, good acting and storyline. I never lost interest. There were a few moments where the decisions felt irrational, but given the genre, you have to give some leeway to some of those moments. Worth the watch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Hamdan S Ario Bayu you will always be famous Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review 잘 만든. 아름답게 촬영되었습니다. 잘 행동했다. 구불구불한. 대기. 매력적인 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Fajr A Going to remember this movie for a long time, what a great opening and also the scare is scary af.
