Reviewers from Rollo De Pelicula noted the effective horror makeup and the unique use of a cupboard as a medium for the supernatural.

The core emotional weight of the film lies in the friction between Fikri and Ali. Their relationship explores how different members of a family process shared trauma—one through spiritual discipline (Fikri) and the other through concealment and bitterness (Ali). Critical Reception and Production

Some critics felt the film leaned toward a 1990s horror aesthetic, which provided a sense of nostalgia but also made parts of the plot feel predictable to modern audiences.

The story follows (played by Dato' Adi Putra), whose life is disrupted by a malevolent apparition that emerges from a cupboard, threatening his wife, Shikin (Sophia Albarakbah), and their son. This haunting forces Fikri to confront his past. As a child, he was sent away and raised by his stepfather, Pak Hassan (Wan Hanafi Su), who trained him in the spiritual arts of fighting malevolent entities.
