Production
[edit]This film is a remake of the 2006 film with the same name. "Is there any relation with the previous story? Basically there is an element that is a 'connector', that is a mirror. And that is the important meaning of Kuntilanak then and now," said the executive producer, Amrit Punjabi.[4]
Reception
[edit]A critic from IDN Times rated the film four out of five and wrote that "From the beginning of the film, the shock therapy that is presented raises your adrenaline which is then played continuously until the middle and end of the story. Because this film succeeded in conveying the impression of horror with good execution and characterization".[5]
Sequel
[edit]A sequel, Kuntilanak 2, was released on June 4, 2019 and 3 years later Kuntilanak 3 was released on 30 April 2022.[6]
