Last fall, Timo Tjahjanto pummeled us all about the head and neck with The Night Comes for Us, and it was good. A fact all too often eclipsed by that whirlwind of fist and violence is that he also released a horror movie, May the Devil Take You, at almost the same time—both movies premiered at Fantastic Fest last year. Devil is also super rad, which is why it’s exciting to learn the Indonesian director is going to climb back into the big chair for a sequel, maybe titled May the Devil Take You Too.
Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto may have taken a detour
into action ass-kickery recently with Headshot. He also has
another actioner in the pipe—The Night Comes for Us with Iko Uwais, Joe Taslim, and Julie Estelle—which I’m suitably jacked up for. But one
half of the duo known as the Mo Brothers (along with Kimo Stamboel), his heart
lies in horror. Before that drops, he’s set to deliver May the Devil Take You. Another horror joint, it has an unsettling new trailer,
complete with a floating woman holding what appears to be a severed goat head.
You know, just in case the title didn’t tip you off to the evil lurking within.
Check it out below.
After pummeling audiences about the head, neck, and face in
2016 with Headshot, which I called one of the angriest
action movies I’ve ever seen, Timo Tjahjanto, also known as one-half of the Mo
Brothers, returns to his horror roots with May the Devil Take
You. I have no idea what it’s about, but the director teased us with
a quick glimpse, and I’m way, way, way, way down.
