Reviews/Notes:
“There were plenty of scenes which led nowhere which was frustrating. While the build-up of the suspense was good, the ending sequences was rushed so badly and haphazardly edited together, it made absolutely no sense, and that was a pity.” (Read more)
– Fred Hawson, Fred Said (2.5/5)“In Chito Roño’s rather faithful adaptation of the same novella, the choice of still making it epistolary falters as it is inconsistent and becomes distracting. That repetitive shot of the CGI notepad is just not good. The narration is unnecessary as the film is paced and edited like it doesn’t need to especially in the second part.” (Read more)
– Vinson Gabato (2/5)“The set design and props truly made the setting and environment believable. On the other hand, the performances of Joshua Garcia and Angie Ferro are worth noting. But apart from this, this 113-minute feature can be difficult to get through. The pacing can also be disoriented at times.” (Read more)
– Ralph Regis (2/5)“It’s a bit hard to put in words what the film does not fully have. I suppose it tries to be faithful to the material but we are given with fractured narrative and incomplete thoughts. And if these were made to justify how the environment affects the main character, it never succeeded in even just trying.” (Read more)
– Jay-R Trinidad (1.5/5)“It feels all over the place, and more importantly, lacks any actual tension nor thrills. A waste of opportunity that fails to achieve the creepy atmosphere of its original source material.” (Read more)
