If you are up for a campy suspense Filipino film, you will definitely enjoy this. An entertaining film best watched with your barkada on the big screen. (3.5/5)

While Talahib may not be perfect and occasionally falls short of fully realizing its promising narrative, it still has shock value that could entice fans of slasher films.

Hindi matatago ng talahiban ang umaalingasaw na kapangitan ng pelikulang ito. (-0.42/5)

[...] when the kids were being killed off one by one in the blood-spurting tall grass, you do not know them at all, so you do not really care. (4/10)

Talahib is a disappointing mess. While it does build some dread in some of its scenes, it is not tense; as a police procedural (for at least 80% of the film, it functions like one) it fails. (2/5)

[...] it all ends up feeling like a wild goose chase. Stuff happens, and we find out some things, but none of it really fits together.(1.5/5)

Thanks to its over-reliance on cheap scares and general lack of thrills, not to mention the lackluster execution, this slasher ends up as a dull, predictable, convoluted and forgettable horror flick. (1/5)

Maganda sana yung premise ng pelikula kaso lumaylay ang kwento, nakakahilo ang ibang camera works, hindi maayos ang pagkakakulay sa ilang eksena, from engaging it became lousy, sayang! (1/5)

I honestly don't know what else to write about Talahib when nothing happened in those eighty minutes (that feel like hours) that’s actually worth talking about.
