Badarawuhi di Desa Penari

Dancing Village: The Curse Begins is an interesting tale of a forest Demon trying once again to gain power. The story starts without much understanding of the dynamic, but Mila is seeking a particular village to return a trinket to save her mother of an unknown disease that has hit quickly.

While there are tropes galore of they genre of horror films, Dancing Village has enough to keep above the completely obvious downfalls. (Do we have to have the one character that seems greedy, uncouth, and selfishly idiotic?) There are moment of gentle chills and suspense. The story unfolds easily, and at times it's too predictable if you've ever seen an Asian horror.

Dancing Village appears to be a prequel, and I feel it is worth a watch. Overall, a decent film. One element that made it less enjoyable for me was the huge express of distress around a failing family member. The excessive outpouring was at times difficult for me to take seriously, but that could be from cultural issues or my own personal family dysfunction.
