U-Turn

As a film released in 2020, I expected that Filipino horror film creators to take note of the multiple criticisms Philippine horror has accrued over the previous decade. However sadly, this film let me down. On top of the overuse of jump scares, I also noticed that the plot heavily relies on the main character's stupidity and lack of common sense. Because of this, instead of empathizing with the character, I am led to questioning their judgment, and laughing at their choice of actions (Not a good sign of an immersive experience). Hope that this is not the best that Philippine Horror has to offer.

Garbage. Can even see how different the double is from the lead character. Don't waste your time here pls.

So annoying, it doesn't even have that "it's so bad that it's fun" appeal. Total trash! I don't understand what draw Kim Chiu and Tony Labrusca could have on Filipinos.

The jump scares were too obvious. Horrible acting and storyline. The reactions were too forced. Had to finish the movie to give it a chance of redemption, and now I want my time back.

Apparently this is a remake of a Kannada movie. So I was skimming through the original kannada movie to find anything that was better, but I'm thoroughly impressed by the filipino remake in that there are almost no resemblance to each film. It's a inspiration for sure which the Filipino movie actually says so.

The movie itself I found it engaging for the most part if you watch it as a movie and not become too logical. The 3rd Act could've been better. Slight pacing issues in parts otherwise a one time watch for curious cats like me who like to explore world cinema. My first Filipino film done! ✅
