8/10

Interesting Pinoy horror movie with a never-before tackled topic.

It's a daring move for Director Matti to create a horror film about religion, especially the Philippines is known for very religious. The movie centers about what is the true meaning of good and evil and if these problems can be saved by the faith from God or not. This movie might be controversial by some, but Matti succeeds on tackling issues in religion not just from the Philippines, but also worldwide to the extent. Those issues are handled in a subtle manner but also those are the issues that might occur today.

The scene-stealer of this film, Rhed Bustamante, nails her performance as a creepy child faith healer of some sorts. She knows how to shock the audience with her acting skills. I wouldn't be surprised if she win Best Actress in this year's MMFF, in which this movie is also a part of.

While there are some issues and plot-holes that should be fixed, this movie is perfect for people who wanted to be scared using the dark reality of the human mind. If this movie gets recognized worldwide, I'll be happy about it. If you are into dark, subtle, and creepy horror movies, don't miss this out.
