Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 2000s Filipino digital wave that briefly resurrected genre filmmaking outside the studio system. Delos Reyes was a veteran of the 'sexy' film era trying for respectability.
The 3.5 TMDB rating reflects near-total obscurity — it barely screened outside festival circuits and exists now mainly through grey-market rips. The film's reputation survives through Filipino cinephile whispers, not actual viewership.
