Nope, this is not a Magnolia ice cream flavour of the month. UNBREAKABLE is an epic-length Filipino-style melodrama about female bonding and friendship as it stands the test of time. The plotline is engulfed in tragedies and plot twists that encapture you as an audience despite the uneven subtlety at some points of the story. Nevertheless, there are enough dramatic moments and conflicts peppered throughout the film to keep you involved through its climactic end.

Director Takashi Shimizu, known for his previous Japanese horror works such as the pioneering THE GRUDGE, JU-ON and MAREBITO, now delivers a combination of monstrosity tied this time with virtual reality. Set on a remote Japanese island, IMMERSION employs the same ghastly storyline of the dead reimmersing back to life to attack the living.
