As a die-hard action movie enthusiast with a soft spot for unapologetic violence and raw storytelling, I can confidently say that The Shadow Strays is a must-watch for any fan of the genre. With Timo Tjahjanto’s name attached to it, you know you’re in for a wild ride. His previous works like The Night Comes For Us and Safe Haven have left indelible marks on my action movie-loving soul, and I can’t wait to see what he’s cooked up this time.


Today, I’m thrilled to dive into “The Shadow Strays,” the latest action masterpiece by Timo Tjahjanto, now streaming on Netflix! Already, it’s causing a stir with claims that this film outdoes Terrifier 3 in terms of its intensity and violence. Can’t wait to see it for myself!

At the moment, Indonesian filmmaker Timo Tjahjanto may not be widely recognized, but he is undeniably among the most skillful and impactful directors shaping the action genre today.

As a gamer, I can’t help but be blown away by some of the epic action movies out there. And let me tell you, the 2018 film “The Night Comes For Us” is one of those rare gems that made it onto my list of all-time greats. But if you think that’s impressive, wait until you see the V/H/S 2 segment I co-directed with Gareth Evans – Safe Haven. It’s an action-packed rollercoaster ride that defies belief and needs to be experienced firsthand to truly appreciate its carnage-filled carnival!

Right now, he’s transitioning to Hollywood as he takes on the role of director for Bob Odenkirk in Nobody 2, set to premiere globally in August 2025.

Prior to that, a high-octane Indonesian action movie will be available on Netflix starting today, earning comparisons to films like John Wick and The Raid for its intense action reminiscent of Terrifier 3’s notorious character, Art the Clown.

In this narrative, an enthusiastic assassin known as 13, due to her determination to rescue a child, confronts any adversary that crosses her path. This includes challenging not only her mentor but also the very organization she belongs to, The Shadow.

As a passionate admirer, let me share my understanding of what The Shadow Strays is being hailed as on Reddit: “This is essentially a follow-up or an endeavor to surpass the most brutal film I’ve ever witnessed – The Night Comes For Us.

The fan asserts: “The trailer may not appear to be extraordinary, but it’s designed to hide the best parts. It promises to deliver an action-packed movie akin to John Wick or The Raid. However, what sets it apart is that each and every kill will feature intense slasher-style gore effects – think of hundreds of gruesome deaths.

Initial feedback has been consistently favorable. The AV Club remarks that “Tjahjanto excels in inventive ways of inflicting harm, and these scenes seem to leap off the screen – he might as well produce a 3D film – at an astonishing speed.

SlashFilm describes Shadow Strays as a “gory masterpiece,” and mentions that the climactic, extended battle leaves the characters drenched in blood and muck, making one feel like handing them a bar of soap for a wash and blasting them with a garden hose to clean up.
