Narrative
A woman, a traumatized victim of domestic violence and economic hardship, is forced to join three friends to rob an ancient house.
“Pemukiman Setan” (Demon Settlement) is a horror film that attempts to fuse supernatural horror with psychological suspense
The story follows a group of people who settle in a seemingly abandoned village only to discover that it is haunted by dark forces.
As the village’s disturbing history unfolds, the characters confront their own fears and insecurities
The film manages to create a tense and eerie atmosphere with powerful visual effects and creepy set pieces that contribute to the horror.
The pacing also falters at times, slowing down the tension
However, the plot can feel predictable at times, relying on familiar horror tropes rather than delivering truly original scares.
The performances are adequate, but the characters lack depth, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them emotionally
Despite its flaws, “Pemukiman Setan” has its moments of suspense and is suitable for fans of traditional horror who enjoy the supernatural genre, although it may not be a must-see for others.
