Honest review of Dancing Village: The Curse Begins (Indonesia: Badarawuhi di Desa Penari).
+ Cinematography & CG Animation 3/5 star. There are some decent CGs. The cinematography is also quite neat compared to the previous movie, Student Community Service in Dancing Village (Indonesia: KKN di Desa Penari).Â
+ Scoring & Music 4/5 star. The advantage of horror movies is that the scoring is clearly intended to add spice to the story. Dancing Village: The Curse Begins (Indonesian: Badarawuhi di Desa Penari) has a good scoring and is combined with Javanese music. Ordinary gamelan seems darker and creepier. This is good.
Gamelan itself is a type of orchestra native to the islands of Java and Bali in Indonesia. Gamelan mostly consists of several types of gongs and various sets of metal instruments, which are then tuned and struck with special hammers.
+ Plot story 3/5 star. Dancing Village: The Curse Begins (Indonesian: Badarawuhi di Desa Penari) has a horror plot that is familiar to Indonesian people. Klenik in a remote village that still holds tightly to traditional customs. The dancers from the past are part of the ritual of village prosperity until the time of the mother of Mila.  They dance for prosperity, self-pride and covenants with other entity.
+ Characters 3/5 star. The characters in Dancing Village: The Curse Begins (Indonesian: Badarawuhi di Desa Penari) can also be found in some Indonesian people until now. Mila who never gives up and fights. Ratih who is fragile but loves her mother very much. Ardit as a caring guy. Mbah Buyut who is respected for his shamanic abilities.Â
Our beautiful Badarawuhi itself as a ruling entity in that area. She can be powerful manipulate and high confident.
