Kidlat Tahimik is a charismatic Philipino jeepney driver who is obsessed with Wernher Von Braun - the former Nazi who was helping the American NASA get a rocket on Mars. It could hardly be more of a contrast between his small town existence where the only things not built of bamboo were the church and the ten metre long bridge that spanned the small river near their town. This character has a fairly torrid history: his father was killed by a GI and his open-minded mum lives a fairly hand-to-mouth existence, but that isn’t going to stop him dreaming - and dreaming big. Fortunately for him, his …

First things first. If you are at all photo-sensitive then you might want to avoid this. It’s called “Outer Space” but the constant flickering throughout this dark feature made me think more of bats attacking this poor woman (apparently Barbara Hershey) in a vampire movie rather than a sci-fi one. Whilst folks can speculate as to what this is actually about, it came across to me as an eerily lit and quickly paced abstract that is clearly based on frames from another film and that manages to generate quite a sense of peril for ten minutes. It’s creatively crafted to give us a sense of something…

The Chosen One follows a man gifted with exorcism abilities who struggles between denying his past trauma and accepting a power only he can wield. Blending horror with romance and light comedy, the film focuses more on emotional hesitation than sustained supernatural tension. While its themes of choice and self-denial are compelling, uneven execution and a muted climax keep the horror from fully taking hold.

The Ghost Game follows a group of teenagers who treat a dangerous spirit-summoning ritual as harmless fun, despite the risks lurking beneath. Although the premise and opening set up emotional horror, weak character development and stiff dialogue dilute the tension as the story unfolds.

Stigmatized Properties: Possession follows a man who trades fear for fame by living in haunted properties, believing the risk is worth the spotlight. While competently staged with solid technical elements, the film struggles to sustain tension and gives its protagonist weaker motivation than its predecessor. The result is a safe, watchable sequel that raises questions about ambition and consequence but rarely lingers in fear.

Host draws from local legend to explore an unseen maternal bond that promises protection but brings terror when disturbed. While the film builds early tension through bullying, hierarchy, and psychological fear, its inconsistent character logic and disappointing twist weaken the horror it carefully sets up.

Black Phone (2025) shifts its horror focus from confinement to lingering trauma, revealing that Finn’s past terror never truly faded with time. As supernatural threats blur with internal fears, the film explores grief, denial, and inherited wounds rather than pure physical danger. While solid in character development and atmosphere, its reduced focus on the phone itself and unanswered questions leave the story feeling more like a bridge than a full reckoning.

Tomb Watcher blends quiet emotional wounds with horror to examine loyalty, betrayal, and the price of unfaithful love. What begins as a beautiful romance slowly reveals rot beneath the surface, with a restless spirit embodying guilt that refuses to fade. Rather than relying on shocks, the film lingers as a somber reminder that happiness built on another’s suffering will always be haunted.

Murderer Report unfolds as a restrained psychological duel, where quiet conversations slowly blur the line between empathy and moral justification. Through manipulative dialogue and minimalistic staging, the film builds suffocating tension without relying on spectacle. Its predictable yet deliberate ending reinforces a lingering question about justice, guilt, and how society often pressures victims to simply move on.
