MatiAnak is a localized horror film that emphasizes supernatural suspense rather than social commentary. By using an Indonesian cast and setting, it moves away from Western-centric storytelling. However, the narrative structure follows conventional horror clichés without delving into complex multi-layered identities. The film offers a regional perspective but does not show clear evidence of progressive thematic subversion. It primarily serves as a traditional supernatural thriller set in an orphanage.
