Satan's slave Sequel/reboot of the 1980s film with the same name isn't original when it comes to the premise, it's the same old story about a family living in a haunted house but what's original or say interesting is how the idea is executed, the plot is nicely paced for the most part with great character development and nicely crafted jump scares that work.
But as you reach the finale things get a bit scattered and I sort of lost interest in it a bit probably because the twist was rushed and so was the finale also there was room for developing an arc which is related to the twist (Spoiler alert, arc about the satanic cult with which the mother was associated and would have also developed the character of the mother), still its a pretty fun movie that is way better than most haunted house movies of recent times.
If jump scares are the fart jokes of the horror industry, this movie just shitted its pants.
I enjoyed this movie by Joko Anwar. He may become a legend in horror! I really can’t say that it was a slow burn because of the eerie scenes that run throughout the movie but there are quite a few lulles in the movie and I would have enjoyed a little more of the cult in backstory! It is available dubbed and subtitles! A good one to check out!
For the first half of this Indonesian horror film, you get a pretty generic Asian ghost story with all your expected Asian Ghost Story Scares® and I was really wondering what all the fuss was about. Actually, one of the best scares does come during that first half, but it’s the only thing that really stands out about it so like, the first half minus one scene is pretty ok but not great.
But then, about halfway through it really starts to pick up and get interesting with some very well crafted scenes. The story starts to get a lot more interesting and you get invested in all the characters. And then, about 3/4 of the way through, this takes…
Joko Anwar's Satan's Slaves is a generic horror movie from Indonesia, borrows too much from Insidious and The Conjuring , basically a rehash of everything you’ve seen in standard haunting house films.
I often notice this movie suggested in our film group when someone seeks a good horror film. I really wanted to like this, but it used every cliché in the book. The movie draws a lot from other horror films, especially those by James Wan and includes familiar elements and techniques throughout.
It started out promising, offering scary moments and a chiling atmosphere. The story is interesting, even though it follows a familiar trope of a family haunted by something. But as the movie progresses, it seems like a list of horror clichés appears on the screen: satanic cults, a ghost like Sadako from Ringu, reversed messages from vinyl records, spirit of loved ones wanting to assist and even a…
I love a good suspenseful horror movie, and Satan's Slaves ticks all the right boxes. The plot focuses on a family who begin experiencing sinister occurrences following the death of their sick mother. I strongly recommend not reading any more detailed plot descriptions than that! The film has a number of surprises up its sleeve as the mystery unfolds. Director Joko Anwar is obviously a fan of classic horror. Satan's Slaves plays everything simple, but highly effective. There's a number of clichés - including jump scares - some of them are a bit cheap but they are so very well done, and each one in turn helps to build the atmosphere and tension, which goes well in turn with the…
This is, without a doubt, the best Indonesian horror film of the 2010s so far. It's clear that Joko Anwar has gone mainstream—and why not? His influence is bound to reshape the future of Indonesian popular cinema for a broader audience. Should we be excited? Absolutely! Enjoy the film.

thought this was pretty good once it got going. The first half took me a while to warm up to... there were a couple of cheap jump scares you could see coming a mile away, making me think it was just going to be one of "those" movies. the structure of this movie is odd and sometimes to its detriment, as it didn't really build up the tension as much as it could have. But still an interesting watch.
Good evening and welcome fellow Children of Chaos.
If I have one major issue with the movie it is uses jump scares when it doesn't need to. A few too many of the tense and moody scenes are ruined by a sudden ghost or mom or whatever.
Still minor issue to a movie that had a lot of great tension going for it. The whole movie has this muddy and muted vibe that adds to the eerie nature.
I actually don't have a lot to say about this one.
Good show Anwar
