Storyline: In a rural Central Java village, two schoolboys, Adi and Saman, resent their strict teacher Mrs. Woro and curse her at maghrib (sunset prayer time). Soon after, she dies under mysterious circumstances. As the maghrib call echoes each evening, the boys—along with their friend Ayu—are tormented by a vengeful supernatural presence tied to their curse. As terror deepens, a horrifying tragedy leads Ayu to confront the dark force threatening them all.
Review: Praised for its chilling atmosphere, effective jumpscares, and standout performances from the child cast, critics note it draws on traditional Indonesian folklore—though some felt the plot became muddled toward the end with plot holes and pacing issues.
