The unexpected and gruesome death of a student threatens the existence of an old Catholic school for girls. Pat Consolacion (Bea Alonzo), the school guidance counselor, involves herself with the students in the hopes of helping them cope, and at the same time uncover the mysteries of the student’s death. Most students suspect of the strict and borderline abusive Mother Alice (Charo Santos-Concio), who also threatened Pat’s tenure in the school because of her continuous meddling with the case. But Pat’s unusual talents lead her to knowing Eri, a former student who's been watching the whole school for years. Piece by piece, Pat uncovers the secret of the school and the monster that it nurtured for the past century.
Eerie has good elements of a horror & psychological thriller film with on point cinematography. It will pin you to your seat through the mystery it weaves and get you thinking until the end of the film. It just a joy to watch Bea Alonzo on this genre that truly nails her character. You will sympathize and follow the journey of her character in this film. Charo Santos on the other hand, effectively portray her role as a terror mother superior that has full of mystery and have a big reveal at the end that will touch you heart. Jake Cuenca & Maxene Magalona has their own fair share of moments that highlight their characters. Newbie young actresses Mary Joy Apostol, Gabby Padilla and Gillian Vicencio are also the strength of the film that give justified representation to the dilemma of Sta. Lucia students.
Eerie is not just a horror filled as it has underlying tones and symbolism that successfully pointed out relevant social issues like depression, religion versus science, and moral beliefs. The consistency of Eerie's cinematography from the color grading down to the camera angles has been able to achieve its goal to make the whole film looks downright creepy, dark & gloomy. The feels complimented well with its 1995 timeline and an atmosphere that is heavy and haunting to say the least. The original musical scoring will also haunt you and blends well with the scenes. Overall, Eerie is a must watch for horror-lovers as it gives you a refreshing flick in the Pinoy horror genre.
My Verdict: 4.5/5
