Teluh Darah

Good mystery/cursed family storyline. Very different from anything currently available on terrestrial television in the UK. The overall acting and story are good. Did not see the twists and turns coming immediately, which was nice as a lot of current tv shows spoonfeed the storyline and essentially tell you who is good/bad, so you do not have to use the old grey matter. Would definitely look at other shows or films made by the director, actors and providers. Good effects, didn't hold back with injury detail. Nice diversion from Marvel universe and rehashed western storylines at the moment. Like I said, pretty good 👍

I am only writing this review because right now, the only review posted is so wrong. The music is fine. There is nothing wrong with the music. The series is really addictive. I haven't finished the show but I will and I'm very picky. I'm usually not wanting to read subtitles. The acting is great. The material is unusual. The horror elements are very creepy with an ominous feel. It is not predictable at all. It is very thought provoking. I am finding the backdrop of Indonesia very beautiful and interesting. It is a learning experience. The series has high production values. It really is well done and enjoyable.

Recently I've been on an Indonesian horror binge. After watching The Devil May Take You 1 and 2, Satan's Slaves 1 and 2, Impetigore and The Queen of Black Magic I stumbled across this show on Hulu. I absolutely loved it hope it gets a season 2.

The lead of this series is Mikha Tambayong who plays Wulan. She did such an amazing job and I hope to see more roles from her in the future. This show revolves a lot around black magic and uses a lot of insects in their horror, so if that's a trigger for you just a heads up.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'm just going to say if you enjoy Indonesian horror and/or shows revolving around black magic/curses then I highly recommend giving this a chance!

Teluh Darah (or Blood Curse for the English title) is an Indonesian horror mini-series. Indonesian cinema is not immediately the kind I associate with quality but because of its high ratings and good reviews it intrigued me so I gave it a shot. It's actually a pretty entertaining show, sure with its flaws, but the good thing compensate for the bad things. The good things are the story that was easy to follow and mysterious, the horror scenes that were well done, and a smart twist towards the end. The bad things if you can call them that, I just think they could have been better, were the acting of some, and the cinematography that sometimes looked a bit amateurish. But it's certainly worth watching.

I haven't seen many great shows coming out of Indonesia in the past, maybe one or two ok horror movies, but this one is pretty good. They spent some money on the special effects and it shows. It's a nice story about several cursed families that employs possibly myths originating in the home country, and for me, as a western viewer, that comes across as original. There are some overly sentimental parts but they're few and far between. All in all, a very good show. Wouldn't mind more like this.

This word quota really sucks, sometimes it doesn't feel worth it to write a review unless you have a ton to say.
