In my opinion, this isn't a spectacular movie. However, it was entertaining enough to keep my attention throughout the whole film. I suppose it's partly due to it being a horror film about Indian characters. It's not something I've seen too often, and as an Asian American, it was kind of nice to see South Asian representation. Plus, even if it's inaccurate, the aspects of culture and spirituality grabbed my attention. Still, it wasn't a movie I'd pay to see. Lastly, I actually enjoyed the soundtrack, especially the song "Teeth," by Mallrat. I actually ended up buying the song after hearing it.

To be honest, the only reason I watched this, is because I like most of the movies that Isabelle Fuhrman has been in. The current rating is something like 3.5, but I gave it a 4, because it kept my attention. There's quite a few new movies that can't even accomplish that, and I end up not watching them or barely paying attention. This movie isn't good, but if you're bored and like some of the actresses, then it might be worth your time. If not, I would not recommend it. Although it is amusing at times, it's not exactly original or clever in any way. Still, if you're bored and curious, it might be entertaining enough for you.

Although I never read the books, I eventually grew to like the original films. It's hard not to compare them to this one. To be honest, this film isn't quite as good. I didn't find myself too emotionally invested with the characters. Visually, the film was good and it kept my attention. I guess it was nice to see the Hunger Games world from a different perspective, but I felt a little disappointed by it. It was the one film in 2023 that I was super curious about. I'm currently rewatching the original films and they're a lot more enjoyable. Everything from the cast, the plot and the actors and actresses.
