From the Makers of Qodrat (2022)
Story
A woman, a victim of domestic violence and economic hardship, is forced to rob an ancient house with three friends..
"Pemukiman Setan" (Demon Settlement) is a horror film that attempts to combine supernatural horror with psychological suspense
The story follows a group of people who move to a seemingly abandoned village and discover that it is haunted by dark forces.
As the disturbing history of the village unfolds, the characters confront their own fears and insecurities
The film manages to create a tense, eerie atmosphere with strong visual effects and creepy decorations that add to the horror.
The pacing also falters at certain points, 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 harder for viewers to connect emotionally with them
Despite its flaws, "Pemukiman Setan" has tense moments and is suitable for fans of traditional horror who enjoy the supernatural genre, although for others it may not stand out as a must-watch.
