Thoughts on Sunod (2019)

In my previous film review, I mentioned how I was surprised by the number of new shows and movies on Netflix. One of those new entries is Sunod (2019), a Filipino horror I wanted to watch during the Metro Manila Film Festival. But there are other shows I also wanted to watch so I created a list which I’m slowly getting through. Finally, I was able to see… Sunod (2019) 1h 40min | Horror Director: Carlo Ledesma It centres on a woman who’s desperate to find the cure to her daughter’s illness.

After reading what was available online, I realised I wanted to watch it because of the story and most especially because of the actress.

“To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You” was released exclusively on Netflix on February 12th. Though I saw the trailers and of course, fans’ posts all over social media, I didn’t jump into it right away like I usually do. The main reason is the contentment I felt after watching “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” To make things simpler, let me share two paragraphs from my review of Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.”
