The degradation and mocking of anyone not Euro-American continues. The handful of Arab camel herders are draped in unrepresentative stereotypical funny colorful robes and headdresses. They are portrayed as non-pork eating weaklings. The are referred to as monkeys. They are shown in prayer, whose movements and words are of a kind of which doesn't exist in Islam. In the early 1950s there existed Arab communities throughout California. The producers never bothered to pull in an advisor from the Arab-America community.
Finally, Arabian camels are one hump camels not two hump camels.
Must also mention that the heroine goes through thick and thin, but continues to appear with lipstick, makeup, clean clothes and a hairdo.

A Filipino psychological horror drama.
A class of college students are given an assignment to learn about the 1972-1981 martial law in the Philippines, by talking to people who lived through it.
Carlo (Tony Labrusca) Goes to the home of a senior citizen and retired colonel (played by Eddie Garcia) who was an officer during the martial law period.
Carlo's visit to the retired colonel's home triggered an insane reaction from the latter, who is apparently troubled by his experiences during the martial law when he tortured captured activists.
Carlo is detained in the basement of the colonel's house, where the colonel subjects him to severe torture. Carlo's girlfriend and one of his classmates are also subsequently drawn into the basement trap of horrors.
The film is a quality production. The acting was excellent.
The movie shows brutal scenes of violence as it attempts to portray human rights abuses during martial law.
The movie is currently rated a high 7.9 on IMDb. The movie picked up 2 Balanghai Trophies for Best Actor (Garcia) 1 FAMAS Award for Best Actor (Garcia), 1 Star Award for Sound Engineering, and 1 Gawad Award for Best Actor.
Eddie Garcia was 74 years old when he starred in this film. He passed away a year later, in 2019.
