Sebelum Iblis Menjemput: Ayat Dua

Much better than the first one, good job, hopefully it will getting better for the third installment (if any), flow of the story way better than the first movie (the first movie have a good concept but horrible execution, a lot of jump scare scene doesn't make a good Horor movie ).

Its been two years after the traumatic experience which Alfie n her kiddo step sis survived n now they r moving on with their lives until they are kidnapped by a group of harmless orphans who themselves are tormented by a demon, much more powerful n sinister than the one who killed Alfie's family. The kidnappers r under the impression that Alfie might help them against the demon.

The atmosphere n creepiness is double than the first part. While the settings in the first is an old, abandoned house situated away from the city, here the settings is of a dilapidated n isolated orphanage situated in the middle of nowhere filled with haunting memories. This one is more scary, more gory, more suspenseful, has more body counts n very very creepy.

The director's other films (Headshot, Killers, The Night comes for Us, etc) r insanely violent n action packed, while this one a lil brutal but terrifying. I have become a big fan of the director.

I am generous with a 9 cos I enjoyed it. Simple, aint no wannabe critic.

This one starts with the scared immediately and does not let up. I loved the premise and was genuinely terrified. Give this a watch!

As much as I like the predecessor, May the Devil Take You 2 doesn't live up to the expectations brought by the teasers or the Evil Dead vibes, which executed very well in the first film. The premise is too far-fetched, and the new groups here just too many, making it's reasonable to say that most of them are solely for the sake of body counts.

The exploitation nature of the movie, with good execution, can be enjoyable if we have relatively good characters or satisfying gory/horror scenes. However, this film (due to the body counts token) can only make one-dimensional characters with many weird dialogues or instances. The female lead Ms. Islan also can't justify others' acting due to the pressure of femme fatale scripts that wants her to be as badass as possible. The horror scenes are quite decent, but it takes away many chances to build suspense to focus on campy and brief jumpscares with white-faced ghosts.

With almost two hours (!!!) to build a movie on such a thin premise and somewhat inadequate central components, the movie can't hold my attention to join the roller coaster. The movie has its good scenes in the climax when not too many characters appear and the aim is precise. It's not that worth of wait, but still interesting enough for you who wants to know more profound about the devil's nature.

Although I am relatively disappointed by this movie, I still hope that there is a third installment just for the sake of living horror exploitation alive in Indonesia horror scenes. We are short of this kind of subgenre, and we need that to ensure that the whole horror word in Indonesia only can be defined as jumpscares.

A slight improvement over its predecessor, this sequel represents another brutally intense addition to Timo Tjahjanto's impressive filmography.

The first film's survivors are thrust into another nightmare with new characters; a dark tale of evil that hurtles along at breakneck speed, rarely allowing you to catch your breath between the extended sequences of demonic terrorisation.

Overall, a good horror experience with just enough character development to balance out the bloodshed.
