“Season of the Devil” kicks off in the late ‘70s, after dictator President Marcos institutes a national militia to combat so-called communist dissidents. The effects of this edict play out in the rural town of Gilbon, where militia leaders Ahas (Joel Saracho) and Tenyente (Hazel Orencio) scheme to consolidate power. They achieve this by preying upon the supernatural fears of the populace, accrediting the brutal murders to folkloric spirits. Across the country, poet Hugo Haniway (Piolo Pascual) is separated from his wife Lorena (Shaina Magdayao) when she leaves to set up a medical practice in the suffering Gilbon. Hugo is forced to deal with his ghosts both literally and figuratively, grappling with his guilt and his artistic inertia. (The Playlist)
