I love seeing other cultures’ takes on what we consider familiar stories. In the case of Satan’s Slaves, we have an Indonesian take on your classic ghost story. Creeky doors, moving objects, ringing bells, camera trickery. It’s all here. But what separates this from the traditional ghost stories the Western audience might be used to is local flavor. Each culture has their own demons and their own interpretations of the afterlife or the supernatural. And I find it interesting to see how they are similar and different from the movies I’m used to seeing.
