Umpan: The Betta Fish

About This Movie

Umpan: The Betta Fish really plays into that uncanny horror vibe, you know? The coastal setting feels almost serene, but there’s this underlying tension that creeps up on you. The pacing is interesting; it lingers in the quiet moments, amplifying the eeriness of the supernatural elements. The practical effects used for the visions are surprisingly effective, not overly flashy but unsettling enough to stick with you. The performances, especially from the lead teenager, add layers to the emotional weight of the story. You get the sense that the village’s superstitions are rooted in something deeper, which gives the whole narrative a certain depth. It’s not your run-of-the-mill horror flick, that’s for sure.
