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.

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.

Really great folk horror steeped in the culture of the region. More of a slow burn than a kill fest. Really cool cinematography and cheesy yet effective effects. Very effective low-budget horror.

An uncommonly effective film that is smart and provocative in addition to being all kinds of creepy.

Rated: 3.5/4

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.

A clumsy bit of black magic horror only book-ended by freaky greatness.

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.

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

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.
