Kuwaresma

When I saw previous reviews praising this movie, I asked myself if they really watched the same film I did. The first few minutes were intriguing but then you will soon realize that Kuwaresma is just one hot mess of a film that is trying too hard. The script is amateurish and most of the time, non-sensical. Stop treating your viewers like they are dumb and maybe movies like these will start becoming better.

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.

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

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.

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