How Satan scares
Sheeul (also known as Satan) drags a group of party kids into a nightmare that stays grounded in human cruelty rather than magic, even with all its devil talk. The pace is slow and uneasy at first, with a creeping sense that something is very wrong with the people they've fallen in with, before it turns sharply brutal and stays there. This is French extreme horror territory, so the violence is nasty and lingers, and the mood is bleak rather than fun. It's built for viewers who want something that feels genuinely mean-spirited and unpleasant, not a jump-scare thrill ride.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, Satan rates psychological 3/5, visceral 4/5, gore 4/5, lingering effect 3/5, and overall intensity 4/5.

How scary is Satan?
On The Horror Database's 0–5 intensity scale, Satan rates 4/5 — one of the more punishing watches in the catalog, building its fear through slow-burn dread rather than shocks. It works on both fronts, unsettling the mind while going for the body. Expect it to be heavy on gore and genuinely disturbing. Some of it will follow you to bed, but it lets go within a day or so.
