Overall, Mumun, Teror Pocong Mumun Kembali Lagi, is a forgettable film that fails to capture the essence of the original television series. While it is thrilling to see Pocong Mumun on the big screen, the film does not add anything new or interesting to the character’s mythology. Thus, it is not a film that can be highly recommended to fans of the horror-comedy genre.
