Such a wasted potential. I was really hoping that this sequel to Pengabdi Setan would be a chance to explore more about the Raminom cult and its rituals, but the whole thing felt like a rollercoaster ride that keeps going in circles — except it’s being piloted by a WWII pilot with zero feeling, only trying to scare the audience. From a technical standpoint, sure, it deserves praise — no doubt, it’s well-made and polished. But what’s the point if the storytelling is painfully shallow?
