A black magic baby that is believed to bring luck to its owner and also harm if not properly cared for.
Perhaps Kuman Thong is lacking on those electrifying jump scares, but it still delivered a satisfying horror because of its well told story that's enthralling. Nakatulong din yung mahusay na cinematography para maging atmospheric yung pelikula. (Maganda)
βIt doesnβt reinvent the wheel when it comes to horror movies but noteworthy performances by Cindy Miranda and first time actress Jariya Therakaosal, alongside surehanded direction and writing from Xian Lim, make Kuman Thong worth a shot for fans of the genre. (3.5/5)
βThe story was actually better than what I thought. Kuman thong is a real item in Thai folk culture with roots in black magic, so that is interesting. However, the script was not too good. (5/10)
βAntagal umusad ng kwento. Hindi sulit ang paghihintay hanggang katapusan. Maiinis ka lang sa mga mangyayari. Andaming butas. Hindi pulido ang plottwist. (-0.4/5)
βMessy and all over the place, this dull and predictable horror flick suffers a lot from its clunky script, confused third act, and an overall lack of effective scares. (2/5)
βThere are jumpscares na nagulat naman ako but nakulangan ako sa "scare" factor [...] (2/5)
βI'd actually let it slide and enjoy it as a silly, (hopefully) well-intentioned film that made a mess of itself if it weren't so boring. (1/5)
βAs a filmgoer, I'm probably more patient than most, but this movie really made me want to leave the theater. (0.5/5)
