Erik Matti’s BuyBust is almost great. As
it is, it’s a solid actioner, especially for those of us who favor the gritty,
down-and-dirty style usually relegated to the direct-to-video realm. Especially
rough around the edges and chaotic, and full of weird-as-hell flourishes, it’s
mean and violent and bleak as hell—be prepared for beheadings and morally
questionable dirty deeds American movies shy away from. Matti and company offer
a non-stop buffet of tension and potential disaster for the stars, all wrapped
in an intriguing commentary on the current state of Philippines society and the
draconian drug war under Duterte.
So, if you need an infusion of gonzo action this Monday afternoon,
we’re more than happy to oblige. Check out the badass new teaser trailer for
Erik Matti’s Buybust, which checks off all of the items on
our action wish list.
Well, this looks like a damn fine time. Admittedly, I’ve
never heard of the Philippine action movie Buy Bust, nor am
I very familiar with the filmography of director Erik Matti. But judging from this
trailer and a quick perusal of his resume, I should become well acquainted with
both. From what we see here in this video, this is something I am now very much
looking forward to.
Tormented priests, creepy-ass children, the Devil playing
mind games—I am so all-in on this trailer for Philippine horror Seclusion
(Seklusyon). Check it out for yourself after the jump.
