After the success of the previous entry, prolific genre director Rizal Mantovani and star Sandrinne Michelle returned less than a year later with the rest of the adapted brothers and sisters to continue the saga in a new sequel effort. Expanding on the legend of the vengeful vampire ghost Kuntilanak that was incorporated in the first effort with hints of fairy-tale elements including “Hansel and Gretel” and other children’s stories, this new sequel wasn’t as big a hit as expected, but still offers some worthwhile elements.
Following their escape from the ghost, Kresna (Andryan Bima), Miko (Ali Fikry), Panji (Adiu Fahrezi) and Ambar (Ciara Nadine Brosnan) try to put their past behind them as they stay with Dinda (Sandrinna Michelle), their older sister. When she receives news that her biological mother named Karmilla (Karina Suwandhi) has contacted her and wants to meet up, against her aunt’s wishes...

They say that idle hands are the devil’s playthings, but Indonesian schlockmeister Timo Tjahjanto is never busier than when he’s skirting around the fringes of hell. Just a few long weeks after the release of his gonzo and blood-drenched beat-em-up, “The Night Comes for Us,” Tjahjanto is back with a gonzo and blood-drenched dose of domestic horror, “May the Devil Take You” (viewers familiar with the director’s gobstopping “V/H/S 2” segment won’t be surprised to see that he’s drawn to movies about the inescapable forces of darkness). Both films are available to stream on Netflix, both films offer giddy proof of Tjahjanto’s insatiable appetite for human suffering (both on the screen and in the audience), and both films become interminable reminders that geysers of blood can only get you so far.
