Haven't watched this in the theatres considering that I was quite hesitant bc of the mixed reviews. Waited until today just to watch it on Netflix and oh boy- It was definitely something...
Glitch- First, What was that editing? Second, didn't expect it to be THAT corny. Third, it went from lost media (a topic that they left untouched as well as the religion aspect of the story) to encantadia real quick (my gosh how many times do they want Iza to revive Amihan).
Mukbang- It was a mixture of comedy-funny & genz-funny, which to me is not a good balance.(I mean I did laugh tho but I was cringing at some point) Cute concept tho should've still leaned on the horror aspect more because the concept could've been balanced and the ending could've been more eerie if the direction went with more horror than comedy. Still better than "Glitch" tho.
Rage- A lot of ppl underestimated this segment. (the only reason why I watched this movie in the first place) To me it should've been longer considering the pacing was fast. As I expected this was the ONLY good segment throughout the entire film and I'm INTRIGUED this was way too good to not have a stand-alone full length feature film in the future. (alongside "LRT" & "EMERGENCY") Sure, the opening was quite fast and straightforward but at the same time do we really have to establish and know each and every character's purpose and role? There's a lot of epic and action packed sequences that heightened up the tension every single time.(especially the warehouse scene and the chainsaw!!!) and of course it really showed that everyone did their part and gave justice to their roles in this segment, it really showed the efforts all from the cast & crew gave into this episode.
The only issue I had with it was probably Trina's plot armour. As expected we had a final girl that did deserve to survive, but is it really necessary to have her as the only survivor? Coy despite being young did in fact deserve to live like the btch fought so hard, Moze like what happened to him where did he go?? And of course Faya, like miss wake up someone stole ur baby. (She died lol)
Overall this movie was a surprise from start to end. Sure there were moments that will just cringe you to the core, from the acting, writing, and direction. Can't really say that these segments are original, but it definitely served something to the table... It ain't a full course meal tho.
High hopes for SRR17 bc Manilyn Reynes the OG SCREAM QUEEN will be BACK, and I hope she will outsold ur current faves.
