Satan's Slaves

Usually if characters "act" in a certain way (meaning not really smart or favourable), I tend to dislike the movie and won't have really a good time watching it. This movie walks that fine line and also walks another very difficult line masterfully: combining horror and comedy (or light moments to be more specific).

There are certain moments, that really made my skin crawl. The ideas they had at some parts were really good. It may have the trappings of most horror movies, but you can either hold this against the movie or just roll with it. I can really recommend to do the latter, even if you are a bit of a cynic. The mood the cinematography captures is riveting ...

With many costume changes for Rini, must have had a big wardrobe or was prone to spillage. That said, a visit to Indonesia pays dividends in a genuinely jumpy Horror film with great special effects that pinches plots a plenty: only to be expected living next to a cemetery, but just about gets away with it.

After their mother suddenly dies from an illness that plagued her for three years, a group of siblings start to experience supernatural occurrences and eventually realise that their mother may not be as gone as they first thought. 'Satan's Slaves (2017)' is actually a remake of 'Satan's Slave (1982)', which director Joko Anwar claims to have been terrified by as a child. It's a slow-burning horror that focuses on the family dynamics that occur during a period of grief, as well as the concept that children often pay for the sins of their parents. It's an atmospheric affair throughout. It has plenty of genuinely suspenseful set-pieces and isn't shy when it comes to its scares. For the most part, its horror is really well done. The flick is rather gripping, too, with an interesting story that unfolds naturally and deliberately. It's a really solid effort, even if it isn't particularly scary overall, and it's really well made in almost every regard. 7/10.

Started with mysterious illness of mother, 4 kids and the husband try the best to cure their mother and Wife. And, SUddenly the mother died and buried in Islam way. And the Terror Begins...

I think this is the best Horror ever made in Indonesia. Well Cinematograph, Well act, well the portion scene of each character, well Make up (Joko Anwar didn't do CGI Neither Green Screen), and Well Scoring. I Like the way Joko Scaring us by using The Ghost of Mother telling something to Toni in his bedroom. THATS THE BEST SCAREJUMP

And Rini, as the leader of the family since their father had to go to find Money to city (This family is going to the well of poor), had to struggle to protect her brothers from her mother.

Ian and Bondy is the most entertaining character in entire story. Their dialog gained sympathy from audience. Well Played

after all, this is the best horror movie, with twist ending and mind-blowing. BEWARE OF IBU

THIS was a breakthrough for Indonesian horror? In that case they have a looooong way to go in terms of storytelling.

You've seen everything on display here. Without giving up any spoilers, suffice it to say, most of these scenes can be seen in "The Exorcist," "The Omen," "Zombie," and countless other horror films. In fact, "Satan's Slaves" is so derivative that it simply seems like an Indonesian version of countless other South Korean horror films.

The film had a slow build with a few jump scares, but the ending was a let down. Anyway, it is what it is. I suppose that coming from Indonesia, a religious country rife with censorship laws, "Satan's Slaves" would probably have been a breakthrough in that sense. Otherwise, meh. Nothing to see here, folks.
