Eerie is director Mikhail Red's shot at the horror movie genre, and I can say that it delivers on quality just like his previous pieces, which include Birdshot. It has a good amount of scares, although personally, I wish the creepy scenes were fleshed out some more (i.e., that dark corner; the silhouette of a man behind the blurry glass door).
In terms of acting, this movie is nothing to be scoffed at. It features the acting chops of Filipino veterans, like Charo Santos and Bea Alonzo, after all. Related: If I were to nitpick, I wish the supporting actress (the one Pat promised to protect) had more scenes--scary ones in particular--in the movie.
One major downside I can say about Eerie, which is a very personal opinion of mine, is the clairvoyance ability of Pat. For me, a horror movie whose main character has the power to perceive ghostly entities is less effective than a scary flick featuring a normal protagonist.
Still, I adore this latest effort from director Mikhail Red. It oozes with polish rarely seen in your run-of-the-mill Tagalog (Filipino) flicks these days. After seeing this gem, I am convinced that future projects from Mr. Red will only put confidence in the hearts of movie-goers and inspire filmmakers (both budding and veterans) at the same time.
I give it a solid rating of 7.5/10.
