Outside: Review.
9/10
Read til the end why it is 9 of 10 for me.
Disclaimer: I watched the whole movie and was attentive all through out to grasp most details as much as I can.
I'm gonna create a review because I really think this deserves recognition for a job well done.
Most pinoys are taking this for granted because they expected an action film but instead are given a psychological film.
This is the first time I have watched a pinoy film that is very disturbing and I like it. I always craved for a pinoy movie na weirdo at nakakalumo at ito na yun.
Bakit nakakalumo?
1. Minartilyo ng ama yong ulo ng sundalo sa harap ng anak.
2. Pinugot niya yong ulo ng zombie tas pinakita sa anak.
3. Pinakain yong kinatay na aso sa anak ng hilaw.
4. Pinutol yong kamay ng anak.
Etc.
Main Plot:
The inside is not as safe as the ouside kasi ang kalaban parehong nasa loob at labas.
Sa labas: mga zombie
Sa loob: traumatized at psychologically disturbed father
Andaming magagandang ideya na ginawa sa kwento:
1. Yong children's book na nagawa nila in reality. 2. Yong last words ng mga tao before mazombie na nagiging loop of words na sinasabi nila pag nagiging zombie na sila.
3. Yong anak sa labas kaya panget yong trato ng ama niya sa kanya
4. Yong trauma. The reality of generational trauma and how bad and disturbing it is.
5. Yong nahimasmasan yong father sa trauma niya at the end of the movie kasi nakita niyang nasasaktan ang anak niya nong pinuputol yong kamay pero huli na ang lahat kasi nabaril siya nong isa pang anak kasi akala zombie na siya.
6. Andami dami pa.
I also like how every adult character is flawed na wala kang papanigan kundi yong mga new generation na mga anak.
Basta if you really grasp the plot, it would all make sense. Ang ganda ganda at nakakatakot pero hindi dahil sa zombie as a whole kundi dahil sa ama na hindi zombie pero psychologically disturbed dahil sa trauma.
Now that I have watched the whole movie, noong una nabored ako sa totoo lang. Pero kasi it all makes sense at may connection lahat ng scenes so ang hirap niyang icut.
This is not the movie that should be shown sa mga TV sa bus, sa government offices or as a background show sa mga public places. Kasi, this movie needs to be consumed in your room or in any quite place where you can grasp the full story.
I think people are disappointed because they wanted an action film but were given a psychological film instead.
However for me, I like psychological and distrubing films kaya talagang nagustuhan ko to.
If you want weird and disturbing movies, I highly recommend this. And... watch til the end.
