A Filipino horror film recently added to Netflix is leaving some viewers so scared they’re having to sleep with the lights on. The film, titled Eerie, follows Pat Consalacion, a guidance counsellor at the Sta. Lucia Academy for girls, as she sets out to get to the bottom of the mysterious death of a student.
The horror film follows the exclusive, all-girls academy run by Catholic nuns, while the guidance counsellor’s relationship with the students encourages her to delve into the circumstances of a girl called Erika’s apparent suicide. Many students say they are haunted by apparitions of Erika, while others are drawn to the place where she died. Some fans aren’t so scared they need the big light on, but they still need some comfort.
The film was directed by Mikhail Red, and stars Filipino actress Bea Alonzo as the guidance counsellor. It was screened at the Singapore International Film Festival, and the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, with many people praising its creepy story and visually stunning cinematography.
Eerie is available to watch on Netflix now.
