New Showbiz Analysis

Teluki is a regional horror film that emphasizes cultural specificity. By grounding the horror in Tutong folklore, it offers a unique counter-narrative to Western-centric mythologies. However, the film adheres to traditional genre structures and lacks complexity in gender, identity, and disability representation. Ultimately, it is a folkloric adaptation that prioritizes local traditions over broader social commentary.
