Badarawuhi di Desa Penari

A group of teenager visit to remote village, desperately need help to recover their mother from mysterious disease, but they never know the danger and threat await.

Ok, then. The village folklore is going on, and I knew it from the start that this movie is not meant to be so fearsome, like have a bunch of jumspcare and terror, because this movie is just showing and approaching to realistically enough exactly in threads or real life. Even though I hoping more dreadful story to adapt in the movie, and this story was, sorry to say isn't intens enough for me, because it's not about a ghost or monsters, it's about my sympathy for the victim, and yes this movie is not so horror, but more like drama or folklore and urban legend. And I belive so many of those poor viewer got disappointed from promising horror genre.

The aesthetic view of nature, village and the mountain, absolutely eye catching and stunning. Not to mention the big name producers handle the cinematography so well done, covers up the lack of the horror action, and yeah thats all I get, such the scary side of the dense forest in the beauty of the scenery, thats it and nothing more. For me it's just okay, but need more punch. Yet this still better story to adapt for me, and all those spectacular actors they were absolutely killing it. Once again a better quality, advance from many years before.

I know this movie Made by kimo stamboel or kimo stambol? I don't know, i love he's movie, but im really confused with this movie. Are even this is a horror movie? Or drama? Or comedy movie? Something i love horror movie buat maybe this is the worst. Is just about a cursed village. For me it just did'nt make sense, if you are easy to scare but you want to try to watch one horror movie this is the perfect movie for you, BECAUSE THIS MOVIE IS NOT SCARY. I know maybe scary for some another people, but hey we are Indonesian duh.. we already get used with horror movie because Indonesian only can make horror and drama movie lol. But the point, is if you are easy to scare and you want to try to watch horror movie this movie is perfect for you (Spoiler alert but not really spoiler:)

Literally i was just shocked when i was shown a dead monkey covered with blood, bruh🗿

Dancing Village: The Curse Begins is an interesting tale of a forest Demon trying once again to gain power. The story starts without much understanding of the dynamic, but Mila is seeking a particular village to return a trinket to save her mother of an unknown disease that has hit quickly.

While there are tropes galore of they genre of horror films, Dancing Village has enough to keep above the completely obvious downfalls. (Do we have to have the one character that seems greedy, uncouth, and selfishly idiotic?) There are moment of gentle chills and suspense. The story unfolds easily, and at times it's too predictable if you've ever seen an Asian horror.

Dancing Village appears to be a prequel, and I feel it is worth a watch. Overall, a decent film. One element that made it less enjoyable for me was the huge express of distress around a failing family member. The excessive outpouring was at times difficult for me to take seriously, but that could be from cultural issues or my own personal family dysfunction.

Mila and her group of cousins are determined to uncover the truth behind her mother's mysterious illness. Their quest leads them to the enigmatic Dancing Village (Desa Penari), where they unravel a series of secrets, piece by piece, including the existence of the dreaded entity known as Badarawuhi.

The film unfolds as a slow-burn horror, with the second half proving more compelling than the first. While some scenes may feel repetitive, reminiscent of "KKN di Desa Penari," the focus is primarily on the gradual revelation of secrets between Badarawuhi and the village.

Although the second act is commendable for its chilling and eerie horror, certain parts of the movie may drag, yet they are integral to the plot's development. Despite the predominantly visual storytelling, viewers may still find themselves questioning certain aspects of the film.

The technical prowess of the film, particularly in editing and transitioning between scenes, deserves appreciation for its clean execution. The eerie atmosphere effectively complements the movie's theme.

While "KKN di Desa Penari" may be preferred for its realism and tragic elements, some viewers may feel a stronger connection to the characters and their personal development. The lack of a direct link between the two films, despite being a prequel, may leave some audiences wanting more coherence.

Nevertheless, "Badarawuhi Di Desa Penari" offers an engaging weekend watch, particularly for horror enthusiasts.

I found this movie to be mostly decent for the most part. The story feels complicated, and i didn't know what was going on in this movie. So, the actual plot is this girl going to the village to find answers to her mother mysterious illness and learn about this traditional dance. It's interesting to learn about what the dance is about and how it's important to the village. She also encounters a supernatural called Badarawuhi, who gives an eerie vibe when she shows up and what she's doing here in the first place. The movie itself is pretty slow, with scenes that feel like it is dragging on too long and strange stuff happening throughout. Also, the movie isn't scary at all because nothing too extreme happens in the movie and is easily predictable when it shows up. The climax itself is something different, but it isn't that suspenseful at all. And the movie has a rushed ending.
