Eerie

The good: Effective lead actress. Watchable 3rd act.

The bad: The 3rd act paid for all the sins of the 1st and 2nd, and that's the most one can say. Movie's a snooze fest, which isn't necessarily bad because slow burn horrors are usually the better ones; but a snooze fest of cliches? You'd lose count of all the movies this one is trying so hard to be. Quite a handful of nightmare scenes, Freddy Krueger would be offended. Japanese horror? We've got you covered. James Wan? Sure thing. A very important school staff meeting to discuss a student's death? Sure, do it in a chapel lit only with candles; because, you know, a school office of some sort is just too unhorror-ish. What else can we put in it? Oh, yeah, make it 1995. There...Eerie. ;)

It is not a complex or very elaborated movie, it is simple, classic and conventional, but, it has good shots, nice cinematography, interesting plot and a good ending.

This film had some really spine-tingling scenes and jump-scare techniques wisely used that made this a good horror film. I love how it was very original in using a traditional Filipino Catholic School horror story and turned it into a masterpiece.

This movie thought it was redefining a whole genre of typical horror movies involving your Catholuc school, dorms, and our favorite comfort rooms, but it just smacked right into the cliches. Boring, predictable, eerie (where did the title come from? The supposedly suspenseful music that was also cliche?) music that should make you scared, the thunderstorm, the close-ups of saints' statues, the quick shots of ugly monster-like faces. All tricks to make you jump, because actually there's no story behind this. Oh, and adding the journalist? Come on.

It was a pretty solid film. Don't watch this film expecting scary looking monsters or gore and violence. It's full of clichés, yes, but they're all effective. The best aspect of this film is the atmosphere. I can understand why people thought it was boring but for me it was extremely tense. Overall, the film's not the best but it's definitely not as bad as what the other reviews are trying to say it is.
