There are flaws here and there, and questionable scenes that negate or contradict the story, but hell yeah, I don't give a damn. I like how in the end the main lead's character came to full circle—Mallari is and was, a serial killer, and there is no redemptive way to change history. I'm sure that most of you don't see that angle but once you realize—as the mc broke the third wall, like what Damien did for The Omen—that he decided to become what he is supposed to be, and he embraced it with his eyes wide open then, you'll probably find some appreciation for how this story was told rather than just do the usual "historical" route. Wasn't super scary, but it's a fun experience. Although it could improve more on the editing room.
man vs. self ang atake!
