CreaZion Studios Bring 3 Exciting International Films to Philippine Shores

After remarkable success in bringing in internationally released sci fi movies in recent months, here goes CreaZion Studios again to bring 3 more great movies such as CRAWLERS, WICKER and LOOK BACK to family favorite SM Cinemas.  

CRAWLERS

If you hate bugs and insects, this would be something that would trigger your phobia. Imagine living in an apartment complex then suddenly, the authorities imposed a quarantine that kept you and your neighbors inside. Matilda Lutz plays Serena who used her wits to lead the whole community to fight a sudden infestation of venomous spiders filling your whole homes.  Aside from these nasty arachnids, they had to battle the personas of different folks who either had to go against the grain or follow you to safety. I remember Matilda Lutz from her previous film Red Sonja, a reboot of the 80's film, and she's one tough cookie, so I'm not surprised she landed this role. It's also part of SINE SINDAK's 7th Cycle which runs from October 28 to November 3, 2026 (good news, it costs less than usual in SM Cinema Branches!).

WICKER

Based on a short story by Usula Wills, this 2026 movie WICKER brings to the screen the life of a lonely fisherwoman who asked a basket weaver to create a husband all made of wicker. This creates a sudden tension inside the village as they fall mad for the man or creation. Imagine, they become thirsty of it, wouldn't that be a good premise? This stars Olivia Colman (heavily awarded English actress), Alexander Skarsgard (good looking Swedish actor) and an ensemble. This will be shown on November 4th only in SM Cinemas.

LOOK BACK

If you're a fan of anime, this 2024 coming of age drama film would be swooning you of it's charm and story. It's about friendship, the different ways it could be between girls and their art. They make their presence felt through different seasons, and you'll feel it even more in a live action version by renowned film maker Kore eda Hirokazu. Now you can see why it had remarkable box office success in other countries as CreaZion Studios will bring it here on November 25

CreaZion Studios will make sure every film you watch from their distribution is worth it. Now with these choices, you can scream, fall in love and delve into an artsy world. They're surely going to bring more soon eh?!

Stressful, Creepy and Totally Crazy: Watch BACKROOMS on June 3!

CreaZion Studios International and A24 brought the highly anticipated movie "Backrooms" to the Philippines. Got the chance to watch it on an Advanced Screening event at Megamall's SM Cinemas this evening, and it did not disappoint!

First off, it immediately gave us that 90's vibe folks love. We got to feel how it is viewing stuff through a VHS tape.  Fair warning, the flow of the movie would be quite torturous for claustrophobics. While it remains a slow burn (on some instances), it's super immersive like you'd feel like YOU are in the story. You also get conditioned that you are safe at times, then get your heart racing when you least expect it. I'd liken it to a psychiatric session, driven by various emotional baggage (of the characters), then a little tense... a little scary... inside a furniture store in the middle of nowhere. 

Then folks just find themselves inside a weird room, that slowly just becomes smaller, tighter, creepier, which you don't even know how you even got involved in it. I like the premise, the way things were introduced, and the manner it became scary (sometimes without blood and gore). 

It's stressful, interesting, and got lots of jump scares. You'll catch folks screaming in the cinemas (go ahead!). One minute you're okay, then get unaware you're already trapped a room you're unfamiliar with. It will be double hard for folks to even spoil this movie because much of the story remains psychological. Folks would ask if what's happening is already crazy, or is it just you? 

By all means, experience all of these by watching Backrooms which will premiere on June 3 in Philippine cinemas. This will also be shown in other Asian regions. Are you scared something might happen to you?! Don't let your curiosity lead you here! Or you'll be sorry! 

It's one heck of a creepy movie (an expected Kane Parsons masterpiece). The rush will keep you going. Just don't say I didn't warn you though! This gets a strong 4/5 cows 🐮🐮🐮🐮.

The Backrooms BREAKOUT Experience

Took a Sunday off and got with some of my blog friends to experience BACKROOMS at the 5F of ShangriLa Plaza mall in Mandaluyong City.

Yes, this is a new BREAKOUT room created by CreaZion Studios International and A24. It's a limited one that will only exist from May 23rd to the 7th of June that features the scary and viral horror movie set to be shown in Philippine cinemas on June 3, 2026. They want you to feel the experience felt by the folks in the movie and for horror fans, this is something you should look forward to ahead of the much awaited movie in June. 

The room is not that complicated, and if you're pretty experienced in these Breakout rooms, you'll manage to get ahead of the pack. Remember though, to make sure to look for clues how to get on to the other task, which is a pretty familiar thing in these activities. Is it scary? Maybe, but of course, we can't spoil things like that! 

The Backrooms Breakout themed room can be accessed by buying tickets at Shangri-la Red Carpet Cinemas via the box office which can get one person in Breakout too (only for this room). If you're a group or more, you need to purchase another ticket as it is per person. You can reserve for it for 24 hours by going through their customer service channels (breakout.com.ph, from 11am to 8pm or mall hours). 

The film is directed by Kane Parsons and star Chiwetel Ejiofor and actress Renate Reinsve (who's got an Academy Award and one from Cannes). So if you want to experience this, take that tough stance and see if you can get out of the room before it's too late!
