May the Devil Take You (and May the Devil Take You Too)
Timo Tjahjanto wrote and directed this 2018 release, as well as its cleverly titled 2020 follow-up: May the Devil Take You Too. The series is about a young woman drawn into a realm of black magic when her father falls ill and she learns the sinister truth behind his financial success, as well as the death of her mother many years before. After a visit to her father’s dilapidated villa (which sits on a basement packed with Sam Raimi vibes), her step-family also becomes enmeshed in the supernatural fallout, which continues into the sequel—and presumably beyond, since Tjahjanto (whose other upcoming projects include the Train to Busan English-language remake, to be titled The Last Train to New York) apparently has a trilogy planned.
