If you're looking for excellent recommendations for scary movies, one of the best sources is Erik, known for his works such as"Pa-siyam,""On the Job,""Honor Thy Father,""Seklusyon," and"BuyBust." Erik, one of the Philippines’ most celebrated filmmakers, believes that Philippine horror films are truly anchored in the supernatural, mystical, spiritual, and metaphysical, unlike Western horror films where, if anything unexplained happens, there will always be an effort to find a scientific reason for that moment.

“I was telling someone earlier that it's really hard to do an urban horror as a Filipino horror story, because there’s nothing that matches the intensity of shooting it on the countryside, where houses are far apart, you have empty streets, and when the winds hits the 'talahib.' It gives an eerie feeling, the sound is different, may it be in the seaside or in the mountain side.” Erik shared to Manila Bulletin, during a Halloween event at Palacio de Memoria.

Matti, famous for his mastery of crafting spine-chilling stories, shared his personal selection of favorite horror movies, offering a unique perspective that will captivate both fans and enthusiasts of the genre.When asked to name his favorite movie, Matti told us about the Roman Polanski 1968 horror movie. “I may sound cliché but 'Rosemary’s Baby' is one.” The film stars Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes.
