"I was really impressed. I know na working with iWant iba yung constraints. I think parang mas konti yung shooting days and yet, naka-deliver siya ng very effective na story, and effective scares, and may production value," Mikhail told PUSH.

As a filmmaker who specializes in the horror genre, Mikhail shared how he admires films that have 'layered' themes and discusses relevant topics. "Ako I really like films that are layered. Here there's like a mother-son dynamic, and it tackles [other] themes like mental health. And I really appreciate it when filmmaker uses horror as a vehicle to push more serious subtext.
