Tim Grierson Screen International An intriguing genre experiment, "Sapi" conjures up plenty of unease but doesn't have much in the way of story or character to drive its message home. Sep 6, 2013 Full Review Violeta Kovacsics Cinema Scope Mendoza has mixed up several ideas: realism, genre filmmaking, and simple sensationalism. And those things don't mix together very well. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews An uncommonly inept and unwatchable cinematic experience... Rated: 0/4 Oct 28, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It fails to scare me. Very bad movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a fan of director Brillante Mendoza's work so when I heard he's made a horror film, I got interested (well, he already sort of did with "Kinatay"). This one is about two competing TV networks each trying to make a story of demonic possessions in order to boost ratings. And the reporters and cameramen involved start getting strange visions. This movie is kind of strange. It seems that it's trying to satirize the Philippines' TV network wars and the exploitive nature of mass media while someone is trying to butt in trying to make it into a horror film. The combination just didn't quite gel and results in neither one being completely satisfactory. There potentially interesting ideas and visuals but all in all, it's Mendoza's weakest work to date. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
