Satan’s Slaves 2: Communion - 2022 - 5/10
AKA - Pengabdi Setan 2
Extremely dark film, loaded with jump scares. Check.
Children (teenagers) in danger throughout. Check.
A plot that has little to no bearing on the first film. Check.
In 1955, in an isolated area, graves yawn open and corpses shuffle into a shrine to bow before the icon.
That entire line is abandoned as the scene shifts to 1984, an impoverished apartment tower in oblivion.
A ferocious storm approaches, adults have vanished, and children roam dark passageways.
By and large, I enjoy Joko Anwar’s Indonesian horrors, but this is a let down.
Hardly a sequel, lacking the framework of a plot, clearly aimed at children and nyctophobiacs.
