![]() The film's many fight scenes are wonderfully choreographed and flawlessly executed, Tjahanto's breath-taking direction employing shooting techniques that are guaranteed to astound, although it's the sheer quantity of blood and guts that really impresses. ![]() Dead Alive, maybe.Reviewed by BA_Harrison 9 / 10 Oh so violent.įor those who thought that The Raid 1 & 2 were the last word in kinetic, ultra-brutal martial arts movies, think again: The Night Comes For Us, from director Timo Tjahjanto, is a strong contender for the most excessively violent, blood-drenched action flick ever made. The biggest drawback I can think of offhand is that I found myself wondering when I last saw such an excessively blood-soaked celluloid marvel. So I guess I’ll just say PROJECT: IMMORTAL SNAKE and leave it at that, unless you’d like me to laud the superlative chainsaw usage. Shareefa Daanish and Arifin Putra are ridiculously evil as Dara and Adam, respectively, but picking my favorite aspects of this flick would entail a really long list. You will, however, need a strong stomach and an unhealthy appetite for, yes, the macabre. ![]() I enthusiastically encourage everyone to watch this movie immediately. When I was reading up on Kuntilanak, I noticed this title, as Julie Estelle stars in both. A masterpiece of the sick and twisted little corner of the film world it inhabits, this one’s gonna stick around the old memory banks for a while. Be forewarned, however, that before that happens it’s little but a trip through a special hell, with something to appall just about everyone. Unrelenting, intense and horrific and bleak and sadistic, it only begins to let in a little air after it reaches a sort of tipping point later in the proceedings and inevitably skews toward the blackly humorous – likely because little other option existed. The setup isn’t anything special – a group of friends gives a stranger a ride home, and she invites them in so her mother can thank them – but the direction is. I barely even know where to begin talking about this gonzoid picture, other than to say I’ve got a new entry on my list of favorites. If you want blood, you’ve got it with this insane Indonesian production.
