A Nightmare at School
Enigma tells the story of a shaman who pretends to be a teacher and teams up with a student from a prestigious high school to find the culprit behind the terror targeting the school's top students.
Enigma has a unique premise, it mixes high school life with the horror supernatural genre. I love how it combines typical high school genre trope like friendship, future dreams, rivalry, and parental expectations with black magic and supernatural incidents at the school. For me, they executed it quite well. The visuals and cinematography are great, and the actors suit their roles perfectly too.
However, I'm not fond of the romance. I would have loved it if their relationship had developed purely as a friendship. The script also has some pacing issues, and I expected a bit more from the story overall. But maybe because it's only 4 episodes, they made the right decisions with what they had.
Overall, it's still an enjoyable watch for me.
