The Outwaters

Read Time: 4 minutesDefinitely not for everyone, not because of the violence and gore, but because its too hard to watch, literally. The camera was confusing, the story was confusing, everything was confusing, definitely a mind fvck of a film. Nonetheless it was definitely ambitious. I'd recommend The Outwaters as a one-time watch, if you can finish it that is.

High Tension

Read Time: 4 minutesIt was a good psychological horror film with a lot of tension and gore. Definitely not for kids and squeamish people. Everything was actually going great until that unnecessary, nonsensical, illogical twist that they added in the end.

Grotesque

Read Time: 3 minutesThe gore scenes aren't for everyone as it deals with graphic mutilations and s3xual acts. There's really no story here nor any moral lesson that you can take away from watching this. Grotesque is pure torture p0rn and the director wanted to see how far he can take it before getting sued by someone.

Man of Steel

Read Time: 4 minutesIn terms of modern takes, Man of Steel has the best Superman by far. Though the movie itself failed in some aspects, but the character and iteration itself, I'd say, was great. The pacing was trash and it destroyed the tension of some scenes. I'd watch it again, but I'll still say the same things about it. Great movie, poor execution.

Late Night with the Devil

Read Time: 4 minutesLate Night with the Devil was a fun, not at all scary, B-movie type of horror film. Definitely worth the time. Even with the limited budget and lack of shoot locations, they still managed to captivate me to keep watching it.

Wicked

Read Time: 4 minutesI've watched the musical twice in the Philippines, and it was my first ever broadway musical experience and the reason I fell in love with the medium(?). Everything about the adaptation was great, I love the changes that they did, it highlighted the strengths of the actor/actresses involved. Though I wasn't much of a fan of Erivo's performance, she did however rose to the occassions during her song numbers. The adaptation was a bit long but I didn't get bored. If was a fun ride and definitely did the musical justice.

The House That Jack Built

Read Time: 3 minutesThe kills weren't as gore as I thought it would be. They were shown with finesse, even some of the kills during "incidents" weren't shown. I think it was a good decision and would make others want to watch it. Just the right amount of violence and gore coupled with properly paced storytelling.

Lilo & Stitch

lilo and stitch 2025

Read Time: 4 minutesLilo & Stitch is a fun family movie to watch, specially with your kids. Regardless if they've seen the animation, this live action, in my opinion, did it justice. The tweaks were minor to be honest, and doesn't hinder the fans from experiencing Lilo & Stitch yet again. Highly recommended.

Gladiator II

Read Time: 4 minutesIts a good one-time watch in my opinion. Gladiator II fails to capture the magic that Maximus had, ended up being a cheap copy of the original. The story was interesting because I wanted to know what happened to Lucius after Commodus died in the first film. I don't think I'd watch it again though, I'd rather watch the first Gladiator again and again.

Abigail

Read Time: 3 minutesA fun vampire film with an original concept and story. Perfect casting of characters coupled with great performances coming from each of the members. Weir's portrayal of Dracula's daughter was great. Music score fits perfectly. Definitely recommended. It's not really that scary to be honest, more of creepy and eerie.

Espantaho (Scarecrow)

Read Time: 3 minutesIf you're looking for some good Filipino Horror, look elsewhere, this is not it and you're going to hate yourself for wasting time on it. Also, the ending was predictable. If you want to see people screaming at each other like the usual things we see in telenovelas, added a touch of cheap horror jump scares, then you've found yourself a movie to watch. This was as bad as Pwera Usog (2017).

The Devil’s Bride (Pengantin Setan)

the devil's bride

Read Time: 3 minutesThe Devil's Bride is the title to beat this 2025. The scares were effective, though sometimes it gets drowned out by their use of excessive "scary" sounds. A bit long but still a good one-time watch. The story was good and intriguing as well. I'd recommend this over Sorop (2024) any day.

Legion
