Kuyang is a culturally specific folk horror that provides a non-Western narrative setting. By drawing from Indonesian folklore, it moves away from Western horror clichés and centers local spiritual themes. However, the film's reliance on the vulnerability of a pregnant woman suggests a traditional approach to storytelling.
