My most anticipated movie of this month has arrived, and I caught it in the first show. I expected a lot from "K2", and came out of the theater devilishly satisfied!!! It rocks big time, man! Gives me the creep since fade-in, and thrills to fade-out! Julie Estelle is getting hotter as hell - no pun intended! Dude, this is what people say a breakthrough in film making! The story continues from the closing scene of KUNTILANAK / THE CHANTING, but now Samantha has left the house, and it became a playground for three silly kids who play hide-and-seek after dark. Of course - this is no spoiler - they ended up biting the dust! The final shot of this opening sequence was brilliant!!! The film makers know how to use elements of KUNTILANAK movie to open this sequel in a creepy way, especially the famed mirror! Then, the story goes around the "brothers and sisters" in Mangkoedjiwo Sect who got upset because Samantha killed their leader in the previous movie. They want find her, and take her with them. Meanwhile, Agung - by Evan Sanders - is recovering from his trauma, and then helps Samantha to keep herself sane, and stop killing people using the Kuntilanak which can be summoned by her chanting.
It is a war - as promised by the cool trailer!!! It is a bloody war between good and evil!!! There's a scene showing Samantha battling with her own evil that keeps me screaming for fun! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Unlike the first movie, "K2" has more shocks, more actions, more villains, more blood, and more story. It is not flawless, especially regarding one of the death scenes which is poorly executed. Plus, the music score, regardless how good the composition is, was too noisy!!! Andi Rianto should learn how to tone himself down at creepy points, and let natural atmosphere creeps the audience out.
I feel happy paying the ticket for "K2" again because my eyes get the proper visual treatment, and my ears the good sound editing, and my brain the good story. Can't wait for "K3", guys!!! Can't wait for more of Julie Estelle!!!
