Sam Raimi-esque ‘May the Devil Take You’ Just Hit Netflix!

Published

on

If Timo Tjahjanto‘s must-see action-packed splatterfest The Night Comes For Us wasn’t enough for you, Netflix has just released his Sam Raimi-esque May the Devil Take You (read our review) on their streaming platform worldwide.

The film follows Alfie (Chelsea Islan; Headshot) a depressed solitary young woman discovering her estranged bedridden father, Lesmana (Ray Sahetapy of The Raid). Alfie journeys to Lesmana’s villa trying to determine what befalls of her father and how it connects the mysterious death of her mother. Further complications arise with the arrival of Maya (Pevita Pearce), Alfie’s step-sister. The two women slowly journey into a horrifying downward spiral of violence and insanity as they edge into the truth of what or who Lesmana has been dwelling with.

May the Devil Take You will allegedly tell the evil nature of the Devil that can be embedded in human beings. The devil is depicted as a representation of human evil that can perform acts of terror to kill other humans.

Hailing out of Indonesia, Tjahjanto co-directed the “Safe Haven” segment in our V/H/S/2 and also is behind Killers, Macabre and Headshot.
