Sompral

About This Movie

Sompral stands out in the 2023 horror landscape with its atmospheric dread and cultural folklore rooted in Sunda myths. The narrative follows Niki, a transfer student, whose skepticism is challenged during a sleepover with friends Asih and Euis. The pacing is deliberately slow, building tension as Asih recounts chilling legends that seep into the night. It feels almost like an intimate gathering gone awry, blending personal fears with supernatural elements. The performances are grounded, especially Niki's gradual descent into disbelief and fear. Practical effects enhance the eerie ambiance, creating an unsettling experience that lingers. It’s distinct in how it weaves local lore into modern storytelling, making it a curious exploration of belief and the unknown.
