This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

just watch it!

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

TIYANAKS is a typical teens-stay-in-a-haunted-house type ghost story from the Philippines, shot on a low budget in the Tagalog language. It's amazing just how many similar productions were made over the years - not to mention the incredibly prolific SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL series - showing the local demand for horror fare. This one's a clichéd effort featuring lots of attractive actresses in form-fitting clothing and in peril, various ghostly appearances, an old woman who keeps popping up randomly, and generally low key film-making procedures. Unfortunately, it's a film that's always content to imitate rather than innovate.
