Nanay, tatay

Indeed, it has some predictable scenes (like all horror movies nowadays), but it would be wrong to say the storyline is your typical one, or that it's predictable either.

I didn't expect to be on the edge of my seat, genuinely scared, disturbed, and stressed. Props to that child actress-it's been a while since a film had this effect on me. Not sure if I was just sensitized, or perhaps, it really was that immersive.

We poked fun at it at the start, expecting a corny Filipino horror movie. But from the middle onward, things got a lot more interesting, and the suspense truly kicked in.

Watched it with my family, and we all loved it-even my mom. It could use fewer jump-scare sound effects in some scenes where silence could carry the atmosphere, and perhaps a bit less "showing."

But that's just an amateur's opinion. I really enjoyed it, and it's a step toward genuinely decent Filipino horror films.

I might even say I enjoyed this more than Mallari (though Mallari undoubtedly has a better production budget). But this one isn't far off.
