‘Uninvited’ Review: Vilma Santos drives an edge-of-your-seat revenge ride

‘Uninvited’ delivers what is promised – a suspenseful story of revenge with performances unlike anything from its cast, led by Vilma Santos. It’s not perfect, having a non-linear story makes the first half of the film a bit rocky. But nevertheless, it didn’t affect its thrilling climax.

‘Uninvited’ is an official entry to the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival. Now showing in cinemas nationwide from Mentorque Productions and Project 8 Projects. Rated R-16 by the MTRCB. #UninvitedMMFF

‘My Future You’ Review: Finding the right connection

The film works on familiar themes and formula but it was executed in the sincerest way possible. Sweetness and warmth cover the entirety of the film not just because of the romance angle between the two but also because of each of the characters relationship with their families. Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin are perfect for their roles.

MY FUTURE YOU is now showing in cinemas nationwide. Rated G by the MTRCB. #MyFutureYouMMFF

‘The Kingdom’ Review: Well-thought out family and political drama

The Kingdom’ promises a different world but still familiar and they delivered. Performance-wise, there’s no complaints on its cast. What makes the film impressive is that the country they’ve developed, while fictitious, feels authentic to the characters. It doesn’t feel half baked. I wish the mounting felt more cinematic though.
