About This Movie

Proj. Imakulada is a gritty exploration of a young woman's journey from the provinces to the buzzing streets of 1970s Manila. The film captures that raw, almost oppressive atmosphere of a time when the country was in turmoil. It unfolds with a deliberate pacing that emphasizes the protagonist's gradual fall from hope to despair, and the performances feel visceral and genuine—like you're right there with her as she navigates a world that quickly turns sinister. The practical effects used evoke a sense of realism that enhances the overall tone of dread. It's intriguing how the film juxtaposes the allure of city life with a stark, sometimes harsh reality, providing a commentary on ambition, innocence lost, and societal issues of that era.
