Call me a big fan of Kuntilanak ... I don't care! I'm so tired of watching stupid Indonesian horrors with no story, no interesting characters, and no quality! But this one, not only surpasses other Indonesian horrors, but also becomes a rare case of being better than the first "Kuntilanak"!
The opening scene is a genius way to remind us of what "Kuntilanak" is all about! Three stupid kids - in a short, quick, but believable dynamic - play hide-and-seek inside the old abandoned haunted house - the main set of "Kuntilanak". By killing these little kids, "Kuntilanak 2" quickly tells the audience in the first five minutes that the roller coaster ride that follows won't give mercy to anybody!
Our girl Samantha - beautiful Julie Estelle! - is now pulled to cross over to her dark side - Anakin Skywalker comes to mind! The Mangkoedjiwo Sect supports this bad idea, while the lame ex-boyfriend Agung - wooden Evan Sanders!!! - tries to fight back. How can a Pinnochio stand against a bunch of crazy maniacs graduated from Slytherin???
Anyway, this is where "Kuntilanak 2" is flawed!!! It wants to tell a love story!!! Stop doing that, please! Haven't you seen "Superman Returns" and "Spider-Man 3"? Let's just forget the love story, and let the battle rolls! This movie is also the first gore flick in today's Indonesian movie scene! Great! It's cool that the story revolves around The Mangkoedjiwo Sect. This kind of evil sect is found everywhere in Indonesia.
Compared to the first one, the movie gives more chills, thrills, and action. The story moves way forward to unpredictable places. As a big fan of the first "Kuntilanak", I have made my own versions of the sequel, and I thought I was well-prepared to watch "Kuntilanak 2". The fact is, my mind was blown-away with the story and the character developments! Rizal Mantovani goes crazy! Good crazy!
I can't wait for the final installment!!! BRING IT ON!
