Superstitious or Not

Dropped the movie after 45 minutes into it. This movie is said to be “based on a true story”, so I did some researching. Read several articles regarding the actual event that apparently took place and how the general public felt. As summarized above, this movie portrays a woman being cursed as a result of committing a religious taboo. I am not a superstitious person, but I also don’t want to disrespect and meddle in religious practices that I’m unfamiliar with.

I’ve come across reviews stating how immersive this movie is; it gave viewers the impression as if they’re included and part of the events occurring. With that being said, a large population of viewers in Asia (where the depicted religion stems from) felt that the movie guides its audiences to unconsciously perform/re-enact rituals leading to being cursed. Those who are superstitious or believers of these rituals felt that they were tricked into committing the religious taboos and cursed.

A solid 7-7.5/10 based on the acting, plot, and production. Excellent cinematography for a found footage film.
