Five social media influences are invited to a private resort in a remote province to create a series of promotional posts highlighting the resort owned by a mysterious benefactor. The resort is said to be haunted. Part of the competition is to catch the ghost on camera and whoever had a clear shot of the phantom gets 500,000 pesos. But what turns out to be a prank show set up by the social media star turns horrifying as the group stumbles out of the resort’s confines and into the jungle something monstrous awaits.

So, it was not a comedy?

Halfway through the movie I truly had to go check the genres, because I could swear it’s a cheaply made comedy that was supposed to jab at some social issues and horror tropes. To my surprise, the comedy genre was nowhere to be seen.

Kuta did one thing well, and one thing only - they truly presented the characters as realistic and annoying social media influencers. They were surprisingly realistically written. Sadly the performances were mediocre at best, awful at worst. I mean, one side character literally laughed at the joke he was supposed to deliver for the viewers…

The directing was quite chaotic. The mix of found footage and normal filming is always annoying. You show me all the vlogs to give that feeling for realism, but then the other half of the movie is shot in a normal fashion? Either commit to the found footage or not.

The worst thing about this movie was how bored I was watching. The writing, directing, filming, editing… nothing truly holds viewers attention.

Overall, saying it was mediocre would be a compliment.
