Her disturbing transformation begins affecting her young daughter Alisha who is portrayed by Ayraa Palak, as well as others around them. The film then follows the attempts to rescue Alisha from a curse.

Surendran Selvaraj served as the art director for the project, and the action choreography was designed by Danger Mani. The sound design was created by Aswathaman Siva, while the final sound mix was completed by AM Senthamizhan.


ETimes verdict for 'Satan: The Dark'


ETimes reviewed the film and commented on both its performances and screenplay execution. The review noted, "The occult and Christian imagery peppered throughout could have added texture, but it sits there as set dressing. Fredrick John and Ayraa Palak deliver decent turns, selling the fear and panic their roles demand. Chandini Tamilarasan, as a woman who turns to Satan worship and cuts out her own tongue, is the one genuinely unsettling presence. Mona Bedre, Sreeja Ravi, and Edward are adequate.

At 144 minutes, the film overstays considerably. A tighter cut might have preserved whatever claustrophobic tension the setting generates. Instead, it stretches and defaults to the same gimmicky shocks until they stop registering." 'Satan: The Dark' did a mediocre box office performance.
