Toronto 2013: 'Sapi' Review


I'm one of those critics who tries not to reveal the most shocking and lurid moments from a film during my festival reviews. (Why spoil all the good stuff?) That philosophy was severely tested by Sapi, the latest film from director Brillante Ma Mendoza. It's a horror movie of sorts, and Mendoza has a few oh-my-god moments in there. But I revealed nothing! Well, almost nothing. My review is up at Screen International.
