'Silong' enjoys good reviews from critics, bloggers

See what people have been saying about Piolo, Rhian's 'Silong'

The Piolo Pascual-Rhian Ramos starrer "Silong," directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo and Roy Sevilla Ho, has been making rounds online because of its unique take on romance and thriller. 

We wish we could tell you how and why but that would just spoil the entire "Silong" experience, which you can enjoy starting September 16.

Want to know what you're up for? Then see what the movie critics and bloggers have been saying about the film. 

• “'Silong' is definitely a refreshing take on Filipino romantic-thrillers that are not seen much on movie screens these days.

It looks like Hidalgo and Ho succeed on breaking through the clutter and lodging themselves at a secure spot in the country’s movie industry.

The revelations the film hold will not fail to send the viewers in utter shock at any point, with the help of its neat screenplay and cinematography.

And so the next time you invite a stranger into your home, let 'Silong' be your early warning." (Inquirer) 

• "The plot seems to unfold so predictably, with the doctor and the beautiful stranger sharing a meal, teasing each other, learning one another’s deepest secrets.

But before you can say, 'I knew it!' something totally unexpected happens. The descent to hell begins, and the gore and mayhem remind you of director Quentin Tarantino’s shocking films." (Philippine Star) 

• "Laking tuwa ko sapagkat nakuha na ni Rhian ang gusto ko sa isang aktress ung may buhay ang mata kahit paano hindi yung katawan lamang ang umaarte.

Syempre bibigyan ko din ng isang maraming palakpak si Direk Jeffrey Hidalgo at Direk Roy Sevilla Ho sa mahusay na maggabay sa pag-arte ni Rhian at sa cinematography nito na napakaganda lalo na sa isang eksena kung saan binubugbog na si Rhian ng kanyang asawa.

Kay Piolo Pascual naman wala akong masasabi sa kanyang sapagkat talaga naman total package na siya bilang isang aktor, kumbaga nagagawa niya ang lahat ng karakter at mga eksenang kailangan sa palabas." (axlppi.blogspot.com) 

• "Silong is a fast paced suspense thriller that will give you too many twists. With good chemistry and audacious performance by Rhian Ramos and Piolo Pascual, you'll be asking more for them to do a film... Silong was a fairly made suspense thriller local film that brings something new to the table and a fairly standard chiller with some above average ideas and decent scares." (My Movie World)
