Review of Santet

Santet (1988)
6/10
Pretty good horror comedy from the 80's
16 April 2024
After the brutal murder of her husband by the village gangsters Katami (played by Suzzanna) takes off into the nearby jungle and encounters a witch who takes Katami on as her apprentice. Meanwhile, Bisman (the ugliest gang leader you'll ever see) who falsely accused her husband of black magic plans to become village leader but never failing at looking like the village idiot.

At some point the movie breaks into a musical around the middle with some security guarding singing about what good guys they are. For real.

Then the black magic begins. Don't expect to much blood or gore in this horror, yes there is some but its pretty light. A lot of the humour is clearly meant to be derived from the movie not taking its too seriously as a horror.

As a witch Katami does some pretty nasty acts of vengeance against the village thugs/pimps. Exploding crotches, snake swallowing and stomach explosions but there level of gore isn't really all that great in detail just simple flesh colored balloons filled with red liquid. Very cheap.
