Kuwaresma

I highly recommend everyone to choose another film if you don't want to wasting time like me. The film script is so terrible that make the film terrible too. I wasting my wonderful night with my brother to watch this film. What a disappointed film

Movie title & the movie story doesnt match that well. i wont suggest you guys to watch dis movie

The essence of a good movie is foremost a good story and for a horror movie to hit the mark is for it to be scary... None of these elements are present in the movie. The way how the story runs is flatly disappointing...as if the movie was written by a prime grader...even the scripts aren't making hits most of the time.. it founded on a good start but gradually plunges to the ground until the end...but the actors are good, they were just misplaced in a wrong movie.

Kwaresma is a Filipino horror movie. Has good cinematography, fair sound design, and tone. The actors/ actresses also did a great performance. It starts off promising. The starting scenes are very intriguing.

However, this movie is just very slow paced, and characters aren't well developed. A few flashbacks are given to fill up the characters' background. Although, characters lack interaction with each other and often times they just don't feel real. Dialogue is scarce and often neglected. Intentions of the antagonist is slowly revealed, but is rather uninteresting.

Most of the movie takes place inside a small two story house, and the movie at least does a great job at using its different corners to give a sense of a new setting.

The movie overuses jumpscares (most are very predictable), and scary silent dim scenes (with the same sound fxxx), instead of delving deeper into the characters themselves. The plot is a little held back. Some violent/expicit scenes weren't all that necessary.

The ending and the way the conflict was handled was forgettable and ungratifying.

The reviews here are obviously from paid pundits. There is nothing good about this movie. It's one of those typical pinoy horror movies that try real hard to be sublime and artistic, but fail at every aspect. No character development, nonsense plot, dismal execution and unsatisfying end.
