The multicultural and multi-religious approach in “Cursed Land” is commendable and adds depth to the story

A widower and his daughter travel to the deep south of Thailand to seek help from a Muslim doctor after unleashing a jinn in a collapsed house.

However, despite his best efforts, even his extraordinary acting can’t completely save the film from its shortcomings

Malaysian director and actor Bront Palarae gives a wonderful performance, as expected, showcasing his talents in both Malay and Thai.

These elements, rich in cultural and religious connections, are much more engaging than watching an adult’s slow descent into madness

The narrative spends too much time focusing on Mit’s personal downfall, neglecting more compelling aspects of the story, such as community dynamics and historical context.

The show’s creators missed an opportunity to truly explore and expand on the multicultural elements that were already there

With a tighter narrative and more attention to these fascinating cultural themes, the film could have had a much greater impact.

As it stands, it’s a decent film, but it falls short of its potential
