  1. To be honest mataas din expectation ko dito. Half of the film eh lito kami ng anak ko, then may element of astral projection pala, faith healing, etc. Poorly executed yung prosthetics. I also think JC was the better actor.

    1. Naah. It’s very good for such budget. Maganda siya overall. Hirap sa inyo naka nood lang ng avengers akala dapat lang ng pelikula ganun ang special effects.

    2. Infairness naman bukang bibig dito sa America, pinopost pa nila sa social media. E post ko rin baka manood yung friends ko na di pinoy.

    3. Agree. Docu film n lng sana pagka gawa dami mga extra info not true nmn

    4. Ohhh please it’s actually very good. I like it. Some people just wanna sound so cool with their comments. It’s actually not supposed to be a high budgeted film.

    5. I like it. It’s a nice story. They could have gotten a better leading lady than Janella. She lacks facial expression, she wasn’t able to match Piolo and JC’s acting.

    6. I wouldn’t take a comment from someone who just watched the movie in Netflix seriously. Acting like a film critic from watching it in Netflix? LOL

    7. Ang ganda kaya ng Mallari

    8. 10:35 Kung di pala high-budgeted bakit nagfocus sa mga special effects na ang ending eh pangit pagkakagawa? Sana finocus na lang sa pagpapaganda ng storya, no?

    9. What difference would ot make if sa big screen or sa Netflix pinanuod? Sound quality? Size ng images? Eh kung naka-headset ka naman at halos nasa mukha mo na yung screen, baka mas maani-nitpick mo pa yung palabas. Mas feelingero yung mga nagbayad lang ng mahal akala mas magaling na sila.

    10. 1:25 a movie is a movie kahit saang medium pa yan ipalabas duh. Also, nagbabayad din kami ng netflix so it’s not free tv

      Delete
    11. Actually medyo ok for me yung Manananggal aspect nya kasi I read somewhere na the reason why Father Mallari became a serial killer was because he believed na yun yung cure para sa nanay nya who he thought was a victim of kulam. Actually I would have preferred if they focused on that aspect and created a confusion kung siya ba talaga yung pumapatay o yung nanay nya and inaassist lang nya.

    1. Korek. I love watching movies daw talaga ba...eh isa yan sa pinaka trending nung MMFF pero netflix niya lang pinanood lol

      Delete
    2. 11:48 tama lang naman na desisyon na hindi sa sinehan pinanood kasi overrated naman talaga. it was supposedly a serial killer movie pero daming nilagay... may manananggal pa. tsaka nila-lang yung netflix eh may subscription fee iyon. ibash ninyo kung pinirata lang niya movie

      Delete
    3. Lol. True. Saka ano ba expect niya?! Mala marvel cinematic yung effects??? If may budget for sure kayang kaya yun. Ang kamote parang d alam ano pinpanood.

      Delete
    4. 1:13 isa ka pa. Manood ka nung K-drama ba Signal para ma-gets mo yang ginawa nila. Puros criticism pero kulang naman sa pag-iisip.

      Delete
    5. Pinanood ko sya sa Netflix, excited ako kasi maganda concept pero halong lito at disappointment din ako. Obviously mataas expectation ko - kasi petsa na tagal na ng Pilipinong gumagawa ng mga movie pero feels like 90s effect parin tayo, tapos yung script and story line - nawala na kasi kung ano anong gusto nilang mangyari. Tinanggap ko na yung astral projection kasi a twist sa usual story, hinaluan pa ng manananggal..

      Delete
    6. 2:19 the commenter simply expected na maganda ang movie. eh ano magagawa ninyo kung nakulangan siya? palibhasa kayo mabababaw at tama na sa inyo yung "pwede na"

      Delete
    7. Actually, hindi naman nilait. Sobrang balay sibuyas lang talaga ibang commenters dito. Typical pinoys na hindj marunong tumanggap ng constructive criticism.

      Delete
  3. Same sentiments ko dun sa review. I felt shortchanged.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I agree sa review, obvious na tamed down para mapasok lang sa mmff
    It's a movie about serial killer so dapat talaga it's brutal and unapologetic masyado maarte ang Pinoy movies now e dati sikat na sikat nga sa pinas massacre movies now wala na pabebe na kahit serial killer movie

    ReplyDelete
  5. checked it on Netflix and di ko pa rin tapos. Ganda sana ng storya tsaka yung concept ng (redacted, no spoilers) pero pangit nung ibang mga dialogue. Kabwisit yung mga supporting characters. Ang gulo ng sequence ng mga scenes.

    Pero in fairness, namention si Fashion Pulis hihihi!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Well totoo naman eh.. magaling si Papa P and mas super galing ni JC but the storyline is just meh. Could have focused more sa mismong pagpatay ni Mallari..what his motive might be, fictional short background sa mga pinatay nya, impact nito sa society, etc. Dito ko nagets bat nanalo ang Firefly, which I think is napakalinis from start to end.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Wala rin bang mas malapit sa age ni Papa P bilang leading ladies nya? Ang bata naman nina Janella at Elisse

    1. 12:36 anong gusto mo? maraming mabubulaklak na salita? na magkukuwento pa ng buhay niya bago dumating sa punto? Facebook post naman yan, hindi naman yan article pede ba

  9. Nagandahan naman ako the first time I watched it in the cinema last December, although imho, second best lang sya after Firefly.

    Anways, let's wait & see if the series version of this, with Dennis Trillo as the lead, will be more tamed or not.

    1. Piolo portrayed it well. I doubt Dennis can surpass him. Low budget lang talaga.

      Delete
    2. Ofc Dennis can.. He is the better actor, might be the best nga among them

  10. Same confusing yung mga supernatural element, low quality na cgi at yung story na baduday jusmiyo kaya di umaangat ang quality ng pilipino movies

    1. 1:02 Nabaduyan ka kasi malaking bahagi ng istorya ang pinoy culture? Mukang ikaw ang may mali sa pag iisip mo.

      Delete
    2. 11:50 baduy kasi siniksikan nila ng maraming Pinoy folkloric elements kaya nagulo yung kuwento. Feeling siguro ng producer hindi na siya makakagawa uli ng movie kaya nilagay na lang niya lahat dito sa movie. Shame na it's supposed to be about the first serial killer pero naovershadow ng mga Pinoy horror tropes.

      Delete
    3. 1150 baduy dahil sa Pinoy Culture?? Dear it's not about the culture it's about the story and the execution of the film. What if i compare this movie to itim ni Mike de Leon na ginawa nung 70's? Aber?

  11. Ito Yun movie na pinilit ko Yun husband ko to watch with me. I agree with the reviewer Tama lahat sinabi nya. My husband told me never again na daw ako mamimili Pag Filipino movie panuurin namin, sya na daw. I agreed and syempre nag sorry ako and told him na kala ko kasi talaga maging maganda Yun Mallari.

  12. i also watched lang on netflix, since matatakutin ako and feeling ko di sulit ang bayad. I only watched Gomburza. same sentiments with the guy. poor storytelling and parang cheap production

    ReplyDelete
  13. Pwede ba ayusin naman ang makeup ng character.. haaayyy, yung balbas ni mallari parang sulat lang ng pentel pen lang sa panga ni piolo. Haiiist soooo disappointed too. Abangers pa ako, yun lang palang sisiw ang gusto sa huli, maygaaaahhhdddd!

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hahaha natawa naman ako sa sisiw lol. Ako naman i liked it a lot. Kasi i like the element ng time travel ( astral projection), murder/mystery , aswang and ang guapo ni Piolo. So overall i was entertained :)

  14. Hindi naman about sa buhay ni Fr. Severino Mallari ang movie. Fiction sya na gumamit ng real events. Marami lang talaga ang hindi naka gets.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Sorry pero kung ganun nga eh sobrang misleading ng title to name after Mallari and also nung pinopromo sya eh bukang bibig nila si Fr. Severino Mallari. Sana ginawang title na lang eh Mananangal kung Fiction pla ang trip 🙄

      Delete
  15. Ok naman ang story para sakin yung effects lang talaga instead na kabahan o matakot matatawa ka nalang. And applause to JC’s performance lalo na nung tinutukan sya ng baril ni Janella grabe sobrang galing nya.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Aq napanood ko rin ung movie siguro mataas lng expectation q s movie kaya medyo na disappoint aq. Ung way ng pananakot nila is obsolete na kaya instead natakot aq natatawa aq napakapredictable na ung san banda lalabas ang mga entities gamit na gamit na ung itsura ng entities ung multo na nakaka ngah ngah ilang beses ko ng napanood sa mga foreign at local movies. Medyo corny ung dating ng kwento it is my POV lng nmn baka aq lng since ung napanood ko sa sinehan pero ung mga artista magaling umarteh kaya same kami ng POV. Kayo anong kwento nyo?

  17. Nagustuhan ko ang Mallari! Tama sinabi ng Mentorque. During the time of Mallari, very rich ang folklore. Ito ang ginagamit ng mga tao explain illness at mga kung anu-anong hindi magagandang pangyayari. Pinaglaruan nila yung idea given na wala namang actual recorded history si Mallari. I thought it was creative. But I agree dun sa part ni Gloria Diaz, medyo meh.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Di ko pa natapos medyo nalilito ako sa time skip eme at inantok tita niyo. Si Elisse pala yun ung gf niya nung sinaunang panahon. Andun palang ako sa part na yun.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Tried to watch this but can’t even pass more than 10 minutes. Sayang material. I thought this movie leans toward true crime genre but more on horror flick with all filipino folklore vibes. Some jump scare attempts failed. They should’ve stayed true to the story. Mas nakakatakot true crime.

  22. it's still a good movie, i like it.

  23. Ang daming nega comment sa fb at tiktok since napalabas sa netflix. Personally, i was disapointed too. Natawa ko sa mananangal scene na nung sa lalaki nalipat werewolf naman. Wala namang werewolf sa Pinoy folklore, tikbalang lang. so paano nila nasabi na they tried to stick sa pinoy folklore? Ang pinakanakakatakot lang for me eh yung muka nung statue na muscle muscle ung fez. Other than that, so so, forgetable. Sayang ung inantay ko na ipabalas sa netflix.

    1. 11:46 Meron po tayong "Pinoy" werewolf - or weredog - na tinatawag na Sarut. even yung Sigben/Sigbin are sometimes depicted as werewolf-like creature. Feeling expert ka naman sa Pinoy folklore eh hanggang TV lang yata ang knowledge mo!

      Delete
    2. Iba ang sigbin sa werewolf! Sigbin is small lang like dogs and walks in 4 feet. While werewolf mas malaki sa normal na tao, just like yung shadow sa movie. Rerebat ka lang, mali mali pa! Tseh!

  25. Tas best picture sa FAMAS wtf hahah best CGI sa MMFF what?! Mas maganda pa sa Firefly. Should I watch this? It seems cringe. Had high expectations that they will be true to the story.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I watched it last night. The only mmff entry i actually finished that i was actually engrossed
    the while time. So many elements in the story that it keeps me guessing whats actually happening and how its going to end. I actually liked it as opposed to rewind that’s so predictable

    1. Cringe din Ang Firefly

    2. Yeah ang flat ng story ng Firefly, ganda sana ng plot. Saka unneccesary yung characters nung young love team. I think sinama lang sila para makakuha ng audience. Pero magaling si Alessandra sa movie,may mga moments na napaiyak ako.

  27. unfortunately, this is best the philippines can offer. when our neighboring countries have developed their "craftsmanship" in making films... the philippines is still finding ways to buy rice to feed their family. hmmm.. sad, sad indeed.

    1. 12:33 Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara pa rin (1995) ang the best horror movie for me kasi dun kahit siniksik halos lahat ng horror movie tropes (smoke, shadows, ghosts, moving objects, possession, demon, fire/hell, occult/black magic, sumpa), natural na natural at effective talaga na panghorror. wala din siyang mga panggulat na eksena (except siguro nung nasa harap ni Amy Austria si Dawn nung mawala ang mga usok) at natural ang pananakot. Yun dapat ang gawing standard pagdating sa Pinoy horror films. Yung Feng Shui ni Kris Aquino maganda din pero ung Barbara ang the best!

    2. 6:05 agree both good… story, dialogue, acting, editing.. both by Chito Rono.

  28. Maganda ang movie. Highly appreciated ang mga actors for the well execution of their characters. Medyo mataas lang din expectation ko. Akala ko kasi is more of history ang highlight ng film, yun pala is mas folklore ang focus.. Sana lang mas tamed ang aswang scene, di na sana lumabas yung pak-pak.. Overall, maganda!

    PS:Nagustuhan ko din pala ang time traveling part sa movie 👍🏻

  29. Hindi sya nakakatakot period!!! NOTHING BEATS KRIS AQUINO HORROR MOVIES!

  31. maganda sana talaga yung MALLARI, i love the concept of time travelling kasi matalino kaso naging corny lang nung nagkaroon ng Aswang at Manananggal.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It was horrible. Di ko din gets why smartphones/social media were all over the film, pwede naman isuspend ang belief for a little bit, hindi naman relevant o nakakadagdag sa story.

    ReplyDelete
  33. maganda nman natakot ako kc i dont watch horror movies, yon nasabi ko lng while watching, lang hiya horror pla eto. I do agree na sana d nasobrahan sa folklore insted naging pyscho-thriller na lng but they were right to, baka yon nman kc tsismis nun time nila, mahilig cla sa mga supernatural. d ko nagustuhan yon time traveller, yon lng tlga yon corny.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Overall nagandahan ako. Ayoko lang talaga yung pagkaka-edit kay Gloria Diaz. Take Mallari as fictionalized history like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie.
    Bet ko rin na fast pacing at kabog ang acting ni JC.

  35. The "pwede na" movie.
