Janice (Christine Bermas) was a girl who figured in a viral video where she was seen stabbing her teacher with a pair of scissors. This notoriety led to her being gossiped about and ostracized in her new school. Ryan (JD Aguas) was a boy who was attracted to Janice, but he was discouraged by bully lesbians, Sasha (Aila Cruz) and Andrea (Aira Bench).
One day, a pretty girl with red hair wearing a red dress named Lexi (Micaella Raz) stepped up to defend Janice from Sasha's harassment. Lexi became Janice's roommate, generously teaching her shy friend how to dress up and how to give pleasure to men (without losing her precious virginity). However, with time, Janice began to notice odd things about Lexi.
Christine Bermas has consistently been a good actress ever since her first lead role in Vivamax's "Siklo" (2022). However, she had lately been saddled with roles in less than stellar Vivamax films like "Sapul" (2023) which just wasted her beauty and talent. Her Janice here was a very confusing character as written, so Bermas was made to do several strange things. By the third act, Janice's behavior was too strange for Bermas to save.
Micaella Raz biggest break into the Vivamax scene was in December 2022, playing the lead role in "Bata Pa Si Sabel." After 2 quick follow-ups, it took almost a year before this new film of hers came out. Whenever Lexi was in the scene with Janice, Raz actually stole the scene from Bermas with her natural verve and appeal. Unfortunately, Lexi would have a puzzling change of character midway that felt like Raz herself did not understand it.
Matthew Francisco (as a security guard) proved that his good acting in "Haliparot" (2023) was no fluke. JD Aguas (as jock Ryan) can be excused because he is a neophyte, but veteran Rash Flores (as Lexi's abusive ex Gio) still can't get the level of his acting up. Cruz and Bench does a midnight coupling on the rooftop to start the film, but Bermas and Raz upped that with their acrobatic copulation outdoors in broad daylight at the film's climax. 4/10.
