For the most part, Kiet doles out the usual scare tactics, and THE ANCESTRAL hints at addressing women’s issues...without meaningfully pursuing them. Go to Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique 05/26/2022

Stephen G. @patient1 Oct 25 Simple family trying to move forward after a tragedy befell them, the loss must feel unbearable to the young ones. Very strange occurrences are happening to our young members of the family, and a new character has come into play. There's been an accident or maybe a lead into what is actually going on, but either way, it's scary for our young character now in peril. This film has been an emotional roller-coaster of thoughts and perceptions. See more Read all reviews
