"Danur" is a film that lacks consistency and inspiration, but it might appeal to those who appreciate its unique elements.
The movie focuses on three main aspects: its loud sound design, its reliance on jump scares, and Shareefa Daanish's performance as Asih, Indonesia's "Lady of Horror." The film heavily depends on sound to create tension, and once Asih appears, it turns into a scare-fest.
Shareefa Daanish, who appears in about half of the film, is the standout performer and the driving force behind its scares. The rest of the cast is generally average, with some uneven performances.
The film takes its time to build up, with a slow start focusing on Risa's "friends" before jumping forward in time to introduce an older Risa and her younger sister, Riri.
Despite some nice camera work and editing that enhance the scares, the movie's ending falls flat and feels poorly executed. However, the post-credit scene is worth watching.
