The film showcases four sets of great stars and directors, which is pretty unique; you can feel the different styles colliding yet somehow harmonizing. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially in the horror segments, and the practical effects, while not always polished, have a raw energy that heightens the experience. The pacing keeps you on your toes, weaving in and out of romance and suspense, making it a real oddity in Filipino cinema worth a look if you appreciate the eclectic.
