Review : V/H/S 2



I am always excited about Indonesian movie maker that his or her film succeeds to go abroad. That makes me proud of and keeps  my hope intact about the future of Indonesian film. The Raid, Don't Talk Love, Lovely Man are good examples of this. Since I watched The Raid, I will always anticipate the next movie that has international scope but includes Indonesian's works. You can call it nationalism haha.
So, V/H/S 2 is  one of my anticipated movie. Yes, the only reason why I wanna see this movie is just want to see 'Safe Haven' segment on it. Safe Haven is the works of collaborated Timo Tjahjanto and Gareth Evans. Timo is a unique and antimainstrem Indonesian director. His good debut is 'Dara' that gives its main lead actrees, Shareffa Danish, won an award from Korean FilmFestival (I'm sorry if I'm mistaken). Timo usually works with his brother,Kimo, but in V/H/S 2 he worked alone. Gareth Evans,well, not an Indonesian director, but we Indonesian movie lovers thanks him so much because his amazing work, The Raid. The Raid is an Indonesian movie even it was directed by British director. Yeah, I feel right about Gareth Evans is British outside, but pure Indonesian inside. Okay, stop talking about this.
