Love can be complicated, and giving in to temptation often comes with unexpected consequences. This October, VMX dives into the chaotic side of lust and betrayal with two brand-new releases: Dutdot and Sukdulan.
Dutdot: A Dangerous Awakening
Turning 18 is a major milestone—a time usually marked by newfound freedom and exciting discoveries. But for Mira (Aliya Raymundo), her transition into adulthood leads down a path of temptation and heartbreak.
Having been sheltered all her life by her single mother, Mercy (Krista Miller), Mira decides to mark her 18th birthday by getting her first tattoo without asking for permission. She turns to her godfather, Rodel (Chester Grecia), a professional tattoo artist who offers to ink her thigh as a birthday gift. However, what begins as a simple session quickly escalates into a romantic intimacy, sparking Mira’s sexual awakening.
Although Rodel is infamous for sleeping with his clients, a naive Mira believes their bond is special and keeps coming back. Unbeknownst to her, Rodel actually holds feelings for her mother, Mercy, who isn’t immune to his charms either. Meanwhile, Mira’s devoted childhood friend, Jericho (Nico Valdez), remains patiently by her side, hoping to be noticed.
How will Mira react when she uncovers the truth about her mother and Rodel? Can she learn to trust Jericho once he reveals his true feelings, or will betrayal ruin everything?

Sukdulan: The Cost of Infidelity
Directed by Lawrence Fajardo, Sukdulan explores the dangerous fallout of passion, secrets, and unfaithfulness.
Elaine (Shalanie de Vera) and her partner Orly (Benz Sangalang), a TNVS driver, share a home while jointly caring for Orly’s blind mother. Exhausted by opposing work schedules, their relationship has fallen into a routine, leaving Elaine feeling deeply unfulfilled.
Desperate for excitement, Elaine turns online and meets Miguel (Chad Solano), a charming photographer. The two unexpectedly cross paths at the condominium building where Elaine works as a maintenance staff member. Even though Miguel is a known playboy, his attention gives Elaine the thrilling validation she craves, causing her to drift away from Orly.
When Orly senses the distance and tries to rebuild their connection, buried secrets threaten to destroy their foundation completely. Caught between a stable life with Orly and the irresistible attraction to Miguel, Elaine must decide where her heart ultimately lies.
- Cast: Shalanie de Vera, Benz Sangalang, Chad Solano, Alexa Cruz, Ralph Engle, and Karla Pambid
