Viewing Notes

Neat to finally watch the movie that inspired the more recent Indonesian film of the same name. Obviously very different approach but the core of the story is still similar with a wronged woman learning magic powers and getting revenge. What’s interesting here is that she’s aided by man who has his own ulterior motive.
