Joko Anwar is a sceptic when it comes to supernatural stories.

“I don’t believe in the devil. I only believe in UFOs,” he said.But even he couldn’t deny the stories of seemingly unexplainable eerie things that happened on the set of his latest film Pengabdi Setan. The film is a remake of an Indonesian horror classic of the same name released in 1980 about a family being haunted by the restless spirit of a loved one.
