Bahay ng Lagim

About This Movie

Bahay ng Lagim is steeped in a haunting atmosphere, layered with themes of faith and the weight of the past. Sister Sofia’s progressively uneasy journey unfolds as Fatima enters the convent, bringing with her a palpable sense of dread. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build organically, almost suffocating at times. While the director remains an enigma, the performances, particularly from the leads, delve deep into psychological horror, showcasing the struggles between sanctity and sin. Some practical effects might seem modest, yet they effectively enhance the eerie vibe. It’s a film that resonates with those who appreciate the subtleties of fear lurking in everyday life, rather than overt scares.
