"The Gatekeeper" follows Cita, an antique store owner who discovers a cabinet that connects her to the underworld, becoming the gatekeeper between two worlds.
I appreciate the good writing, magaling yung script. They even tried to inject humor para hindi maging boring kahit dun sa mga nerdy and historical parts ng kwento. It just get too wordy. Sana mas madami yung takutan scenes para balanse. (Sayang)
”The script has potential, but the execution is lame and boring. Horror experience is meant to be shared with people and not to be locked inside the script. For continuously withholding horror, this movie is the ultimate gatekeeper. (-0.34/5)
”'The Gatekeeper' fills itself with interesting lore but lacks scares. (2/5)
”There are some interesting moments in this film - a scare involving the text of a book is pretty cool, for example... wait, that's the only cool scene in the film I think, never mind. (1/5)
”Devoid of any tension or effective scares, this latest iWant original movie is a struggle to sit through. (1/5)
”The nice concept of the story was not executed well, it's a horror movie but it's so boring! Minsan napapapikit na lang ako hindi dahil sa takot but sa antok, the jumpscares were meh! (1/5)
