It's just like asking if Koreans like kimchi.

It seems like this Monday was a national holiday in Indonesia, that's why the number of viewers increased drastically. 

I'm currently reading their reactions and it seems like Indonesian also has a lot of indigenous beliefs, I guess that's why 'Exhuma' resonates well with them. Some of them even compare it to their own folktales.

-I looked up why 'Exhuma' is a big hit in Indonesia and learned that the market for horror movies there is really huge. Additionally, Indonesians also really love movies about spirits? ghosts? that passed down through tradition. That's the information I could gather from a 10-minutes long video. I also read dozens of comments that seemed like translations from Indonesian reviews, they all thanked this movie for showing such a pretty and handsome shamansใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹ใ…‹
