Sanctissima Movie Review

Sanctissima is far one of the decent short film that I’ve ever watched, it gave me chills after watching the movie as it portrays the uncanny love of a mother even as her son is made by the the devil itself. It is screened alongside of Cinemalaya’s Short A block, directed by Kenneth Dagatan, The story basically tells us the story of a barrio abortionist Marissa, who disposes fetus she aborted and feeding it to her son who is a demon that she keeps along her in her house.

The film embraces the locality fears of people who lives the provinces here in the Philippines, it withstands by the lone manangs that aborts fetus as people say that they are not living alone but living with a demonic presence along them.

The short film is showing us some gory parts as the start of the film, quiet silence of panic giving us chills. The first part is where guts and fetus where sensually viewing towards us as it is a sign of something mysterious is behind to that woman whom is the abortionist. As one of her patients returned to her place because of an infection the woman fainted and as Marissa saw the opportunity to feed her demonic child, she seized it.

The Movie presents the love of a mother that she will do everything for her child even if it is murder and she will seize every opportunity may come just for her child. It is ironic how the film proclaims that she is an abortionist, but she can’t do it for her demon child, there is something in this movie that I do really like.

When moms do love, it's scary, hunting even in their sleeps, it gets the best and worst out of them, and it's limitless Disregard of what's the nature of their offspring *evil, good, deceitful, etc.

Anino Movie Review

The Anino (Shadows) Movie directed by Raymond Red is a short film that shows the dreadful streets of Manila. It has an award in the Cannes Film Festival, Short Film Palme d’Or as.

The story is about a poor man who lives a far-away province and is taking pictures of people in a church. He only has his camera with him with no money he struggles his way walking around the streets of Manila.

one day, he has three encounters that changed his life. The first, with a smooth-talking young man who's standing by the church door who berates him for wasting his life in church, the second with a boy who offers to take his picture, and the third with a Mercedes-driving man who's been stuck in traffic and has no patience left. As what we saw the question is, is there soullessness of the people in the city?

After getting verbally abused by a mysterious man in black, a church photographer gets his camera stolen by a street dweller. The photographer then wanders around the slums of Manila to find his camera but bumped into a fight with a man driving an expensive car.

Like the entire manila setting was a nightmare for those who have a clean hand and conscience Those who are bare and clean, will be filled 1st with frustration because of those evils, then they'll become like them Evil consume them, because nothing else is around everyone save just for themselves.

 Those who are bare and clean, will be filled 1st with frustration because of those evil lurking around, the ones who are clean are the ones who are being attacked, then they'll become like the others as of the ones that are evil.

 Nothing else is around everyone to save just for themselves, religion is dead here, teachings are fraud and priest are hypocrites, like syndicates they fed on the WEAKNESSES of these people, they eat their fears in the table as offerings.
