Dendam Kesuma is an interesting piece in the horror landscape of 2021. The film captures this palpable sense of dread that creeps in as Hadri navigates his stress while at his mother-in-law's house. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, allowing the tension to build, and there’s an undeniable atmosphere that thickens as the film progresses. The performances, especially from Hadri and Meena, are subtle yet effective, showcasing the strain in their relationship and the growing unease. What stands out here are the practical effects that add a raw edge to the scares, feeling more grounded. It’s a unique exploration of familial pressure and the supernatural, making it distinctive among its peers.
