Sunod

Can I have my 105 minutes back? don't be over-swayed by fake reviews stating this is a top notch horror film because it isn't such an utter disappointment. I am beyond disbelief

Watched this on netflix, didnt expect much but wow. this movie doesn't use much jump scares but the cinematography and music are amazing which give the movie a creepy vibe all through out. the story is pretty ordinary compared to other horror movies but the last 30 minutes was very well done. the ending left me shocked in a good way, this is what philippine cinema can be if given the chance.

A young mother with a critically ill teenage daughter takes a job at a call center to pay for the mounting hospital bills. Little would she know that she and her whole world would turn upside down in this dark sinister tale of tragedy and evil. Shot in dark tones and moving at a glacial pace the movie succeeds in conjuring an eerie and ominous atmosphere with the good directing and acting complimented by a pretty imaginative and realistic script not to mention solid cinematography and special effects. Carmina Villaroel delivers in the lead role as the worried and harrassed mother and her aging like fine wine has made her quite the eye candy for some time now. Aside from a few slow spots and head-scratching scenes the film is a good view from start to finish. A fine example on how far Philippine cinema has come particularly in the Horror genre, "Sunod" is one scare treat that any Horror fan should appreciate.

Cinematography wise, it really gives the Outlast 1 vibes. Specially in the climax where they went back to the place the story began. Story wise it's bland, and predictable.

Setting - Poorly researched on the call center environment. The building could have given same ambiance and justice even with the exclusion of tackiness. Scripting - Bland and dense. Lot of screaming and second rated "grudge" signature. Actors - Carmina's hiatus in her performance manifested on her half baked acting. Kristal on the other hand gave justice on her role. Mylene's supporting role was just as bland as the storyline was. Climax - Boring and cringey end. Made it an uncategorized genre with the lack of its substance.
