    Stoked to see good reviews for Nobody 2 and Timo getting his flowers, one of these days he’s going to finally get his shot at the genre art film he’s working up to which I know personally: at one point was working with him writing a take on The Night Comes for Us 2 and another secret epic project.

    HALF wasn’t on my radar at all leading up to #FanstasticFest, but it’s far and away the action film to beat at this year’s festival, and I think it’ll break out internationally as well. The fight choreographer from THE NIGHT COMES FOR US does Indian vampire revenge action! It rips. #Half #HalfMovie

    The Night Comes for Us is my second Timo Tjahjanto film after my beloved The Shadow Strays, and while as gory as expected, I found it harder to connect with the story and the MC in particular (also didn't get the title...). Also, Joe Taslim is Indonesian! That was a *revelation* for me! #MovieSky

    Watched The Night Comes For Us last night and it was great, but it was so brutally violent that if it weren't a martial arts action movie it would 100% be classified as horror. I'm relatively desensitized to cinematic violence but this movie was so graphic it had me cringing from shock a LOT

    If you liked The Furious there's an Indonesian guy-beats-up-a-whole-corridor-full-of-guys-in-a-single-take movie called The Night Comes For Us that's as good. Martial arts movies have gotten really good lately.

    another way I look at game difficulty is just "a way of enjoying art" I like really violent movies, and--unless somebody makes an edited version of The Night Comes for Us--there are just people who will, understandably, *never see that movie* so maybe Dark Souls just isn't for them and that's fine

  • Wong Turn 2: Dead End @wonggifs.bsky.socialBluesky · Jun 16, 2026

    The combination of horror level gore and action in The Night Comes For Us would be a 'game changer' film, and I think that film is considered one. Shadow Strays is a more refined version of that for me, but it doesn't have the same impact second or third time around.

    The Night Comes for Us (2018) Director: Timo Tjahjanto Arguably the best action film on Netflix right now, The Night Comes for Us takes brutality to a new level. Since Criterion seems to be on good terms with Netflix, I think we should try to manifest a Blu-Ray release.

    The producer Bill Kong has said he's interested in a follow up, so I'm hopeful. The title is generic and I initially skipped over it because the poster was terrible. But the show is awesome. Great fight scenes/characters. Joe is the lead in The Night Comes for Us but that is a super brutal movie.
