A woman, a traumatized victim of family violence and economic hardship, has been forced to join three friends to rob an ancient house. From the makers of Qodrat (2022). “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, only to find that it is haunted by dark forces. As the characters unravel the village’s disturbing history, they are confronted with their own fears and insecurities. The film succeeds in creating a tense, eerie atmosphere, with strong visual effects and creepy set designs adding to the horror. However, the plot can feel predictable at times, relying on familiar horror tropes rather than delivering truly original scares. The pacing also falters at certain moments, slowing the tension. The performances are adequate, but the characters lack depth, making it difficult for viewers to form an emotional connection with them. Despite its flaws, “Pemukiman Setan” has its suspenseful moments and is suitable for fans of traditional horror who enjoy the supernatural genre, although it may not be a must-see for others.
