nullNokturno has to be one of the 2024 Filipino films to watch as it is a horror film directed by Mikhail Red who once again collaborates with Lustre after her performance in Deleter. The film is about two of the popular sources of Filipino folklore, the Kumakatok, and the two-kissed curse, a curse inflicted upon the people who dare to open the doors anytime these creatures knock on it late at night. This story concentrates on one family member, Jamie (Lustre) a San Sebastian migrant worker who abandoned her family because of a troubled history. With the ominous Kisin curse claiming family members like her sister Joanna (Bea Binene) , it is painful to return home and abide by the family’s own set of dreadful secrets.
The cast of the film also includes Eula Valdez who plays Lilet, a widowed mother struggling with bereavement and cursed, and Wilbert Ross as Manu, a character unable to recover psychologically from the death of his girlfriend. According to Mikhail Red, the essence of the film revolves around a conflict between modern worldviews and traditional beliefs as well as the perception of family and death as inescapable. The film was released on 31 October, 2024, with a distribution platform on Amazon Prime Videoć.
