satan’s slaves 2: communion

With SATAN'S SLAVES, Joko Anwar fulfilled a lifelong dream, broke box office records and was showered with awards. In the sequel, he now chases his characters into the next nightmare. Rini, her siblings and their father narrowly escaped a satanic cult. They now prefer a high-rise flat to their old isolated house – more people, no danger. But then an elevator pulls neighbours to their deaths, ghostly creatures are up to no good and there is evidence of occult rituals. The family is thrown right back into their trauma, and worse is yet to come.

The new setting, fresh characters and a more complex backstory make it easy for newcomers to find their way around the SATAN'S SLAVES universe and lose themselves in Anwar’s sinister visual compositions. This time he ups the ante in terms of macabre gothic flair, nasty jump scares and gruesome deaths. COMMUNION in fact overtook the first part at the local box office and ranks third among the most successful Indonesian films of all time.
