Set in Taiwan, where a group of celebrities and content creators goes on a ghost hunting in an abandoned hospital where numerous explorers are found dead and cursed. I like they go by their real names which I find kinda meta though I hope it will not also affect them in real life.
The plot may not be new, but the direction and effects were really good. Something that I really wanted to see in a Pinoy horror flick. It may not go full all-out blood and gore but went hard with the suspense and horror quality.
This is what I would recommend if people would ask for a great Pinoy horror movie that does not feel underbugeted. As the cast are also playing themselves, they are too and their works are used as a reference in some of the scenes capitalizing on the fans and haters to build up their own characters for TKH.
Among the cast, Jane De Leon stands out as she has the most impressive performance and intense scenes. Rob Gomez also delivers that confident jock attitude which feels annoying but effective. Each of them also has their own charm like MJ Lastimosa as a beauty queen, Raf Pineda bringing queer fun and sass, Alexa Miro for her young and adventurous energy, Zarck with his supernatural expertise, and Enrique (Quen) as the creative and charismatic leader who leads them into this risky venture.
TKH is really a level up for Pinoy horror and others should take note that, this is what we need as a audience. A well woven story and direction for a very complicted genre that is hard to get it right. I'm very happy with TKH though may not be perfect but made a big step to elevate the scare game.
