When Mila (Charo Santos) confesses she’s pregnant to her father Dadong (Vic Silayan), a domineering ex-police sergeant, he allows her to marry under the condition that the couple move into the family home. Claustrophobia sets in immediately and the perverse lengths Mila’s father will go to keep the family under his thumb are revealed. Based on a viral true-crime report by author Nick Joaquin, Mike De Leon’s disturbing psychological-horror masterpiece Kisapmata, known as one of Philippine cinema’s greatest works, updates the story into a chilling allegory for Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorship. (Mike De Leon, Philippines, 1981, 98 min.) In Tagalog with English subtitles
