''Satan's Slaves 2: Communion'' ('''Indonesian''': ''Pengabdi Setan 2: Communion'') is a 2022 Indonesian horror film and sequel to ''Film/SatansSlaves''. The film was produced by Rapi Films and directed by Joko Anwar. The entire surviving cast from the previous film return, with Tara Basro once again playing the lead character, Rini Suwono. The film was released on 4 August 2022.

Three years after the events of the first film, the Suwono family have relocated to an apartment in North Jakarta. However, it becomes clear that they will not be able to escape the curse that haunts them, especially after a freak accident claims the lives of dozens of the apartment's dwellers and leaves them to spend an entire night with their corpses scattered about. Meanwhile, Budiman, the Suwono's family friend, races to the apartment before something even worse will happen to them.

Fun fact: it is the first Southeast Asian film to be screened in Creator/{{IMAX}}. With 6.3 million admissions, it also currently holds the record as the third highest-grossing Indonesian film of all time.
