Patient X

About This Movie

Patient X is this eerie blend of horror and thriller that taps into Filipino folklore with its Aswangs. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and it does a solid job at building tension. The pacing has its slow moments, but they serve to really dig into the protagonist's past, which is a nice touch. The practical effects are impressive for a lower-budget flick, and you can tell they wanted to create something authentic rather than relying solely on CGI. The performances are decent; the lead's struggle with confronting his childhood trauma adds a layer to the story. It's not just about the scares but the emotional weight carried throughout, which makes it stand out.
