Bilog ang Bulan

About This Movie

So, 'Bilog ang Bulan' is a unique blend of drama and folklore. The atmosphere is really haunting, especially as it builds up to that full moon. The pacing has this almost languid quality, which I found compelling, allowing the emotional weight of the mother’s decision to really sink in. The theme of transformation—both physical and emotional—is woven through the narrative, making it poignant. The practical effects used to portray the monster are impressive, not over-the-top, but just enough to evoke a sense of dread. I think the performances are a standout, particularly the lead, who captures the conflict of love and sacrifice with such depth. This one stands out for its quieter, more introspective take on horror.

Includes strong practical effects. · Focus on emotional themes of sacrifice. · Interesting take on folklore elements.
