It's time for the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), seen by many as the start of the festival season for 2025. The festival is not specialist so most are drama, romance, comedy, action movies.
Espantaho is different - an intelligent horror movie. Monet and her mother are mourning the loss of Monet's family. During the nine days of pasiyam - the traditional Filipino mourning period - strange things start to happen. Is it possible her father's spirit has lodged in the scarecrow or is there something more malevolent at work?
Judy Ann Santos knows how to handle the genre. As far back as 1989, she was in combat with Impaktita, an aswang (vampire) that terrorised her local village. You can watch the whole movie for free on YouTube:
