Confusing, but has its pleasures

An enigmatic Filipino crime drama revolving around a small town whose residents find themselves shaken up by a rape-murder case. It's not a typical genre film as it is mostly a series of observations detailing the disturbed peace in a place with a supposed zero percent crime rate. There are also surreal and supernatural elements at play here, and I personally couldn't make much sense of them. But while the film is quite confusing for me, it does have its merits, notably the atmospheric photography and a slightly creepy atmosphere in some scenes.
