A woman, a traumatized victim of domestic violence and economic hardship, is forced to team up with three friends to rob an old house. From the Creators of Qodrat (2022). “Pemukiman Setan” (Demon Settlement) is a horror film that attempts to blend supernatural horror with psychological tension. The story follows a group of people who move into a seemingly abandoned village, only to discover that it is haunted by dark forces. As the characters unravel the village’s disturbing history, they confront their own fears and insecurities. The film succeeds in creating a tense and creepy atmosphere, with strong visual effects and creepy settings that add to the horror. However, the plot can feel predictable at times, relying on familiar horror tropes instead of delivering truly original scares. The pacing also falters at times, diminishing the suspense. The performances are adequate, but the characters lack depth, which makes it harder for viewers to connect with them emotionally. Despite its flaws, “Pemukiman Setan” has its suspenseful moments and is good for traditional horror fans who enjoy the supernatural genre, though it may not stand out as a must-watch for others.
