Ignore. Delete. These are the two trademark words of Deleter. Ignore the unnecessary ones and delete the most inappropriate.
Content Moderators are a new thing to all of us. It is honestly my first-time hearing about this job, which is unbelievably true. And it is surprising that we get to know about it all because of a local film─a win-win situation to both the Filipino Film Industry and this profession we once had no idea before.
Deleter was surely a visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing movie, the cinematography was on point, color grading gave that heavy tone for the movie, Nadine Lustre delivering the character of Lyra with flying colors, everything seemed to be perfect for this movie except for the story.
I felt that the story of the movie was half baked, it tried to be different, it tried to be edgy, it tried to be psychological, but the story did not deliver, there were moments that I felt it was draggy already and even there were scenes that left me hanging.
To be frank, Nanahimik ang Gabi deserves a better acknowledgement as it is a better entry, at least for me.
I guess one factor that made Deleter the #1 in the box office is because of Nadine’s popularity which then resulted to a fewer cinemas that shows Nanahimik ang Gabi and other entries as well. It is just utterly sad that Nanahimik ang Gabi was overshadowed, yet it is a more polished and scarier picture than that of Deleter’s. But without a doubt, Deleter is still a satisfying movie and I’m proud of how far it went.
