PAINFUL and disturbing reality and truths viewed on screen can be even more difficult to face in real life. Mikhail Red confronts this reality in the techno-horror film Deleter.

Directed by Mikhail RedPAINFUL and disturbing reality and truths viewed on screen can be even more difficult to face in real life. Mikhail Red confronts this reality in the techno-horror filmThis was the first of three movies I had lined up for the day. I was glad to see more than 20 people in the audience compared to the audience count of five I saw at the opening day of last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.

The story centers on Lyra , who works as a content moderator tasked with filtering violent, sexual, exploitative content from reaching social media platforms. Unlike her colleagues who often grow uncomfortable with the demands of the job, Lyra has seemingly mastered a technique to reach her quota. The environment in the workplace is disrupted with the suicide of their colleague Aileen — the woman who freaked out in the opening scene. When investigators interrogate the employees about the incident, Lyra replies by saying they were not really close, which is believable at first considering her minimal interaction with other colleagues. Her only good acquaintance is Jace , an employee in a different company lin the same building.

The film keeps a consistent dark mood through the character’s wardrobes, the use of blue color grading, and almost pitch-black shots in interior scenes in a power outage. The only bright scenes in daytime at the building rooftop and convenience store.
