Tragic Theatre is a Filipino horror film released in 2015, directed by Tikoy Aguiluz and written by Eric Ramos. It stars a number of notable Filipino actors, including Christopher De Leon, John Estrada, and Andi Eigenmann. The movie revolves around the Mendoza family - husband Alfred (De Leon), wife Maricel (Lilia Cuntapay), and their daughter Anna (Eigenmann). They are a family of actors who run their own theater house, which has been passed down from generation to generation. However, after a tragedy occurred years ago during one of their productions, the family is haunted by a ghost who seeks revenge.

Much of the film takes place within the confines of the theater, which serves as the main setting for the story. As the Mendozas prepare for their next play, strange occurrences begin to happen. Furniture moves on its own, eerie noises can be heard coming from the stage, and Anna begins to have nightmares about a woman dressed in white. The family soon realizes that the ghost of the actress who died during their previous play has returned to seek revenge for her untimely death.

As the story progresses, the film takes on a more suspenseful tone as the ghost starts to terrorize the family. The tension builds as the Mendozas try to figure out how to exorcise the ghost and put an end to her revenge once and for all.

The acting in Tragic Theatre is generally strong, with De Leon and Eigenmann delivering particularly solid performances. The movie also features a number of eerie and suspenseful scenes, particularly during the ghost's appearances. The atmosphere of the theater itself also contributes to the spookiness of the film; the dingy, run-down interior of the venue certainly lends itself to a sense of foreboding.

One potential downside of the movie is that it can feel a bit slow at times. The film takes its time in building up the suspense and exploring the backstory of the Mendoza family, which may not be to everyone's taste. Additionally, some audience members may find the reliance on jump scares and other horror tropes to be a bit predictable.

Overall, however, Tragic Theatre is a successful entry into the Filipino horror genre. It has enough suspense and scares to keep viewers engaged, while also boasting strong performances from its cast. The film is a solid choice for fans of horror movies and Filipino cinema alike.

Tragic Theatre is a 2015 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.2.
