Story
A woman, traumatized by domestic violence and economic hardship, is forced to join three friends in robbing an antique house.
"Pemukiman Setan" (Demon Settlement) is a horror film that attempts to blend supernatural horror with psychological suspense
The story follows a group of people who move to a seemingly abandoned village only to discover that it is haunted by dark forces.
As they unravel the village’s disturbing history, the characters confront their own fears and insecurities
The film manages to create a tense, eerie atmosphere with strong visual effects and creepy set designs that enhance the horror.
The pacing also falters at times, slowing the tension
However, the plot can sometimes feel predictable, relying on familiar horror tropes rather than delivering truly original scares.
The performances are adequate, but the characters lack depth, making it difficult for viewers to emotionally connect with them
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 stand out as a must-see for others.
