Banal (2019)

Directed by: Peter Abanna

The usual problem with barkada horror flicks is that they dwell too much on the scary scenes and they forget that the characters have a life too.

Banal had that problem since it started.

Akalain mo nga namang may 5 magkakaibigan na pinagsamasama ng tadhana. At isang araw, napagisipan nilang magadventure nalang.

Ipakilala nyo naman samin sino tong limang to. Parang wala silang mga pamilya na nag-aalala sa kanila. There’s a slight effort na bigyan ng backstory si Bianca Umali. But thanks for trying. All of them still remain lifeless.

Parang ang only purpose lang nila sa buhay ay matakot at sumigaw at madapa.

Oo. May nadapa na naman. Hindi kumpleto ang araw mo kapag walang nadapa sa isang horror movie.

Hindi na sila nakatayo at nakaahon. Especially nung ni-reveal na yung twist sa dulo. Lalo silang lumubog. At gugustuhin mo na lang ibaon sa hukay ang napanuod mo.
