Review of Nerisa (2021 VIVAMAX Film):

I’ve seen a lot of so called “disturbing” foreign movies, but I think the one that stuck with me the most was the Korean Movie Bedevilled (Which has the similar island settings to Nerisa). Lo and behold, This is the most disturbing Filipino Movie ever made. I won’t give any spoilers but hear me out, This movie is the perfect definition of “Creepy Town/Neighborhood with a full dose of toxic masculinity. It gives me a sense of mystery and discomfort from start to finish. Some scene only speaks for the brilliant acting performances of all the actors including the bystanders. Lastly it seems like you’re in a setting of 70’s pinoy movies like Insiang or Maynila sa mga kuko ng liwanag which is a bit of mysterious. (Bembol Roco and Elizabeth Oropesa did a great job being a supporting cast) Please watch it if you are into psychological thrillers, but if your a bit sensitive, My advised to you is not to get yourself into this film.
