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?!

Top Korean Film "THE ROUNDUP" Now Showing in SM Cinemas

Looks like we're in for a treat this month as the most popular movie in Korea is now showing in SM Cinemas, it's an action flick called THE ROUNDUP starring Ma Dong-seok aka Don Lee who also starred in Train to Busan which was a hit worldwide. 

Ms. Grace Lee says "We have been really eager to do this years ago, where we are able to showcase Korean movies while it's being shown in Korea. I've been convincing them since 2020 and got delayed because of the pandemic. In 2021, we were asked about the conditions here and they were more eager to pursue it from happening. I was fortunate to bring the number 1 movie in 2022, this is the biggest movie hit in Korea. I hope Philippine viewers to be able to watch it in cinemas now that it's available. Our partners in Korea produce and distribute, they give us a synopsis and the final edit of the movie. I've known how Filipinos love the stars, THE ROUNDUP is an action film and perhaps it'll be bigger and better (as it is a sequel), and possibly in the next projects it'll be the stars promoting the movie here. Glimmer is also in drama production, we have to sign an NDA until it comes out and we're not allowed to give details especially when half of the scenes are shot in the Philippines. THE ROUNDUP is actually a sequel of a drama, Dong Lee is also a big star since he's in Train to Busan and different series. He's very versatile, you'll see layers of him in the movie."

 

Grace Lee heads Glimmer who distributes Korean films now in the country

She adds "Filipinos and Koreans have similar values. Korean movies have high production value, and distributing this at this time might have challenges, but all good and Glimmer (our partner) has been very supportive. Recently, international movies have been doing quite nice in the box office and opening up with TOP GUN for people who are slowly coming back to watch was a pretty good move for us. We do even have next ones in the pipeline but we have to wait til they give their go signal. It's risky to produce movies in Korea as the value is pretty high. We shot here for 3 months, with Filipino actors doing very big supporting roles and it will come out in November. We've already crossed that bridge and have Filipino talent is pursued. We are doing this as a start for the Korean movie wave, it's a hit in Korea and Southeast Asian countries. The market is ready, I don't see why not the Philippines and acknowledge we are ready for consumption. We are talking to Korean partners about bringing Philippine content to Korea. We're in the talks and we're taking the next steps. It'll be an exciting year for all of us!"

Go watch the movie today as it'll be something worth your time. It won't be guns blazing though because it's barred to have them in Korea. It's more of closeup hand to hand combat with sharp or blunt things so it's different from western movies. 

Can't wait to watch it tomorrow!
