Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Echorsis exemplifies the 'Shake, Rattle & Roll' tradition of Filipino horror-comedy, where Catholic exorcism tropes collide with local queer culture and working-class Manila settings.
The title itself is a portmanteau of 'echo' and 'exorcism'—the demon literally echoes the victim's own sins back at them, specifically targeting exploitative behavior toward gay men.
