Satan's Slaves 2: Communion

It is not make any sense if someone can scream and the other people can't hear. Because the building has hollow in the middle.

This movie has too many unneccessary characters and scenes. For example, the three children died in the ground of the lift, the tree boys do some unimportant scenes that do not support the main story, etc.

I think, Joko Anwar has failed this time. Sorry.

I would say that this movie is slightly better than the previous one, but this one is more filled with a lot of spooky stuff that you can expect from a good horror movie. The plot didn't have much difference, it was still filled with a lot of mystery about the cult itself and left us with more questions and theories. They definitely saving something big for the next one. I'm surprised when they somehow connect the story with a real-life history, that's just a smart move by Joko Anwar.

The technical aspects of this movie are top-notch for an Indonesian horror movie and superior than the first one. I still can't get over how beautiful the cinematography is, especially for the exterior shots. And the production design is great as well, we got traveled back to the 80s.

My favorite part is the moment leading up to the elevator accident, there were so many things going on, and the music that plays along with it makes the moment very chaotic and intense.

In many things the director was able to motivate the audience, but the story was weak and had no meaning. The first Movie was excellent, but this one was disappointing.

Watching this film is an enjoyable experience. Joko Anwar can optimally use the setting to create a fun haunted house throughout the runtime. Not only that, we also get more explanations (and additional questions as well) about Satan's Slaves universe.

This shows the director already has strong concept about where the saga would go, but at the same time I know this sequel won't be the end, hence the ending feels like an abrupt intermission with lots of flashing lights. However, I think this movie is a great sequel from the predecessor, and it shows with the right hand, Indonesian horror sequel can be a good thing to see. I might want to watch this movie again.

A new breakthrough for Indonesian horror films of course, but the weakness lies in the forced and hasty plot. Regarding technical achievements, there is rapid progress compared to the previous film, the cinematography is superb, sound design is really good and the IMAX's crystal clear mastered is tye new game here!. But the problem is on the direction itself, i think is not as good as Joko Anwar's previous work Impetigore, it's too rushy, the plot seems forced to be associated with historical events, but the correlation does not make any sense at all if you think about the first Satan's Slave details and plot. But so far, Satan's Slave 2 provides an interesting and exciting spectacle and a roller coaster ride! Tari characters? What a wasted talent! This character supposedly got more interesting role play better than just a layer character guest.

7,5/10.
