The Caregiver

  • 2012
  • 1h 39m
YOUR RATING
Marcus Madrigal in The Caregiver (2012)
THE CAREGIVER is a psychological thriller cloaked under the chilling romance between an injured athlete and his caregiver. Agustin, a young 'sepaktakraw' player, is badly injured in one of his tournament games causing paralysis in his lower part of the body. He is nursed by his caregiver, Carlito. The two, however, develop an unlikely attraction for each other. Things get complicated as Carlito is set to marry his girlfriend and Agustin's former lover comes back for his attention. In this whirlwind chilling romance, Carlito discovers his true self, shedding his skin like a deadly viper. 

The chemistry between the lead actors---Agustin, played by Philippine soap star Marcus Madrigal and Carlito, commercial actor Josh Deocareza known in the Philippine Theater for his unique interpretation of The Little Prince---takes The Caregiver in a whimsical romantic air with slow churn tense build up to the climactic ending. And the tour de force performances from the entire cast make this movie a 'must see'.

"Nothing is what it seems in this film by Will Fredo. The brewing love affair between Agustin and Carlito is not the relationship that one might think it is. The plot makes several twists and reveals much in the end. Like Fredo's previous critically acclaimed work COMPOUND, this film has a surprise ending to watch out for. It's his [Will Fredo's] skill as a screenwriter that shines through." ~ Jude Bautista, Philippine Entertainment Portal, Writer
