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. ;)

Because it's filled with every horror cliché there is. The first scare is even the good old mirror trick, and it's poorly done.

There are some promising scenes where the main protagonist talks to the ghosts, but they all end up as jumpscares. Be prepared that this movie is filled with these nonsensical jumpscares. They are everywhere, it's as if every ghost wants to jumpscare the main protagonist into understanding what's going on, all the time.

Was there hype for this movie? I dont get it.

This movie has a huge problem: it's extremely repetitive. There are many scenes almost identical to each other, the central part of the movie is basically a never ending loop of predictable jump scares. The plot itself is very basic and the pacing is terrible.

Odd cliche-ridden horror flick on a strange Guidance Counsellor who dabbles in the supernatural to help teen girls who are dying one by one in a convent. Starts out slow but picks up in the end. A fine representation of the genre from Southeast Asia.

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.
