Tjahjanto’s continuation may feature a new demonic scenario, setting, and cast of characters, but it expects you to be already very familiar with Alfie’s previous encounter with evil. Emphasis on continuation; this is less a sequel and more a new chapter. With a propulsive narrative that doesn’t stop moving from the outset, there’s no hand-holding here. Tjahjanto wastes no time getting straight to the gory meat of things, which means it doesn’t dwell on rehashing plot beats from the previous entry. Some are mentioned, briefly, as needed, concerning how Nara landed on the orphans’ radar in the first place.
