When Mila (Charo Santos) confesses to her father Dadong (Vic Silayan), a domineering ex-police sargeant, that she’s pregnant, he demands they marry and move into his home. Claustrophobia sets in immediately, and the perverse lengths Mila’s father wil 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 chiling alegory for Ferdinand Marcos’ dictatorship.
