Hell hath no fury…like Alfie.
The energetic and stylish arrival of May the Devil Take
You was a pleasant surprise. Timo Tjahjanto delivered on a Sam Raimi
influenced Indonesian cabin in the woods film filled with black magic demons and
flair, fury, and flamboyant gore. It’s still a film I regularly watch to this
day due to its strong balancing of genre elements and incredibly high
entertainment value. Naturally, a sequel has lofty expectations to go with it
considering the strength of filmmaking in the first. May the Devil Take You
Too exceeds those expectations with fervor. The balance between gore, dark
humor, atmosphere and style is impeccable. Timo takes his influences to the
next level, powering tropes and concepts with a distinctly strong sense of
execution and fun, then he impressively grounds it all with a story about the
ghosts of trauma and the manifested demons of past sins. May the Devil Take
You Too is powerful horror film making that will kick its viewers to the
floor with dozens of iconic moments and then vomit demon viscera into their
mouths to make sure the experience never fades.
