Mini-review:
I'm pretty sure this is my first time watching Indonesian horror, and I have to say I liked it quite a bit. Not all the stories are on the same level, and some of them felt rather boring, but I already expected that; it's a usual problem when it comes to anthologies. In this case, I think my favorites were The Orphan, Hypnotized and P.O. BOX (at least until that silly ending). I also appreciated the show's decision to focus on the characters for the most part, instead of prioritizing the crazier stuff. So, is Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams the best horror anthology I've ever seen? Not at all, but I wouldn't mind getting more episodes.
