Father Son Holy Gore

Magnus crafts a compelling story that’s a dark family drama alongside a horrific Southern Gothic with highlights of Filipino culture. It’s also a story about broken people attempting to heal in a house all but literally surrounded by ghosts.

Rated: 4.5/5

Despite failing to achieve its goals as a horror film, Sanzaru still is undeniably impressive as a tense drama that features really strong directing and performances.

Things veer dangerously close to kitsch. Still ... jettison the undercooked genre elements, and Sanzaru is a quality gothic melodrama.

Sanzaru is detailing the process a caretaker goes through daily, with no complaints. As a tribute to all the real elder caretakers out there, don't underestimate the magnitude of a movie celebrating one.
