Munafik 2

I am sorry but this movie bored me to tears. I left midway because it was just unnecessarily loud and too ridiculous . I mean, who sleeps in a cave nowadays with a kid by all means? And Tok Adi with his Halloween costume? You must be kidding me.

Unless this is a malay version of LOTR, which explains the fantasy elements of this movie (like Maya running up trees to name a few) I thought it was just a noisy movie. Munafiq 1 was way better, at least I was pleasantly surprised at the ending. Sorry to say also, I didnt like the fact that verses of the Quran--not one or two, but many--were thrown about for entertainment purposes. I thought it was too much.

I give it 2 stars just because my husband seemed to enjoy it. Botton line: bad storyline, bad dialogue, bad sound editing. Sorry.

A HUGE step from the first film, coupled with great cinematography, perfomances and scares, Munafik 2 is a must-watch for southeast-asian horror movies.

A story about a cult terrorizing the other side of a village led by Abuja (Nasir Bilal Khan) which gets Ustaz Adam (Syamsul Yusof) concerned about Sakinah (Maya Karin) and her father's safety. The movie opens up as a continuation from the last. Although, i do wish that they would incorporate much more of the first movie's plot into this one. Nonetheless this makes a terrifying adventure.

The performances and character build is so good that a lot of people in the theatre worry about the safety of our characters. I can't spoil much (since i want this to be spoiler free), but i'll have to say Syamsul Yusof is a genius filmmaker tackling issues in this film such as cults and extreme teachings as well as being patient and moderate during God's tests. I'd also like to mention that the scares really git me. This time it wasn't cheap false scares but genuinely scary jumpscares and tension/ suspense that comes after. The camerawork makes it really hard at times to predict the scare until the film has hinted the full thing. A lot of demons aren't just black-contact-lens-wearing-makeup-filled actors with voice changers in the audio, but legitimate beings that might haunt your dreams if you catch a glimpse fot too long. Also, the dramatic scenes might leave a tear in some viewers seeing how far our protagonists are holding on to their faith during the most stressful times (and scenes) throughout the movie

The ending of the movie might be a let-down for most, but it's actually quite the happy ending. By the end, the message sent is that Allah will test his believers, and that we should be patient and considerate as well as be appreciative of the good we have left before and during calamity strikes.

Over all it was a 9/10 experience with some minor flaws and plotholes that are somewhat answered subliminally. I'd say people overseas should give this movie a chance.

I kinda like first munafik but not munafik 2, it more about religion debate, become more comedy than horror, the story is so poor. maybe to much on praying and preaching, the preaching eat most of the portion of the story line a lot of jump scare but not scary. 3 stars is best I can give

This movie gets 1 for effort. Too black and white characters, over the top villains, overexaggerated and tangled plots, illogical decisions and choices from the characters, overuse and over reliance on jumpscares, and convenient plot twists and deus ex machina that don't even have any sort of payoff at the end of the film.

I can't even fathom as to why anyone would say this is a good movie. I seriously don't because for me, this is easily the worst Syamsul Yusuf film to date that I have ever seen. Yes, even worse than KL Drift.

So I had high hopes from watching the trailer, sure it has a lot of jumpy moments, but what spoilt the damn film was the fact that from start to finish the damn kid cries throughout the film (annoying) so if you like the sound of a crying kid throughout a movie be my guest... The tyrant/villain is damn annoying too, the movie is Super 'backwards'!
