Secluded in a desolate forest, a broken family is observed by the demon Sator who is attempting to claim them.

Critics Consensus

Supernatural horror of a refreshingly subtle vintage, Sator uses one family's fight against demonic possession to cast its own dark, stubborn spell.

Austin Chronicle

It's a film that you absorb, until it slithers around and engulfs you.

Rated: 3.5/5

Here's a shivery treat for horror connoisseurs more interested in mood and atmosphere than blood and guts.

Rated: 3/4

AV Club

Through both theme and texture, Graham approximates the slow phobia of Ari Aster's Hereditary-the pervasive feeling that the dominos are tumbling and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Rated: B+

Accept the film on its strange, brilliantly unnerving terms, and you'll find it slipping into your dreams. Any horror fan should be scrambling to see this as soon as they can.

Rated: A

Film Focus Online

Sator is an extremely slow-burning horror, full of truly frightening imagery and well-crafted jump scares, however the plot may not quite be interesting enough to hold the attention of a wider audience.

Rated: 2/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

The authentic nature and the intentional ambiguity of Sator leaves the viewer with the feeling they’ve witnessed something they shouldn’t have.

Rated: 7/10

Terrible. I spent $5 on this bs. Maybe I'm not some dark film student that appreciates no dialogue or any sort of scare action so I don't get it. To just a regular horror movie fan looking for some entertainment this was absolute trash.

Most people wouldn't like this movie, but those that do connect with it become immersed in it. This movie is eerie and mesmerizing in ways that I haven't seen before. Perhaps I'm under Sator's spell, or maybe I'm just crazy.

Very slow burn with no payoff. Some great camera work and establishing shots, and great sound design. Otherwise fairly predictable and a little boring.

Restrained and dark, Sator manages to create its own bleak atmosphere and slow-burning tension.
