    More mystery drama than horror

    Adapting books (or in this case a Twitter thread), especially the popular ones, into a film can be tricky. The urge to satisfy the fans can lead to a dissatisfying result. KKN Di Desa Penari falls in this category. Instead of making a tighter plot point, the film tends to adapt its source material in a literal manner. As a result, the film suffers from an overlong narrative and somewhat wanders aimlessly for most of its runtime. Still enjoyable, but could be better.

    Genre Confusion and Lackluster Horror

    I'll give the director and the FX team some credit, It brought the movie alive in its already almost boring state of horror. To be honest? It isn't one of the greatest, it isn't one of the worst either.

    The culture represented is almost near spot on, the acting of the cast did the best of what they could, the comedy for me as on point as it got a few laughs in theatre. I looked more after the parts where the cast had conversations more then the horror to open up the actual plot. The tension was lackluster, the horror wasn't terrifying or incredibly bad, just lackluster and missing a lot of elements that make something scary.

    Feels Like Watching a Compilation of Clips

    The film was boring, i kept checking my phone to see the time because I wanted to leave the cinema quickly. The only thing i heard throughout the entire film was a loud and annoying sound that repeated over and over. It seemed like the director intended for us, the audience, to be terrified but failed in doing so.

    I couldn't bring myself to care about all of the characters because we never really got to know who they were. The dumbest thing I've ever seen is just random scenes pieced together like a compilation of clips. It didn't feel like a film at all.

    Expected more of a "horror" tone

    Cinematography and the casts were amazing, the whole setting and mood is spot on. But if you're a horror movie fanatic, this movie lacks on the jump scares and there were many apparent plot holes. The narrative was excruciatingly long (it felt like i was reading from the twitter thread itself) and had many unnecessary details. Kinda felt it was overhyped and truly expected more. The ending was very anti-climatic.

    Just rely on jumpscare

    I like the kkn story from twitter which makes me curious. But when made into a film this is not so interesting the film relies too much on jumpscare which is very excessive, I don't even understand if this is about students or the ghosts in the village, but at least the Javanese language is presented very well.
