Creak (2023)

"Creak" is a horror-tinged thriller built on tension and slow-burn dread. It's the kind of production where every settling floorboard hints at something worse. The shadowy pacing gives its cast plenty of room to unsettle viewers between scares. Erika Balagtas brings a sharp physicality to the atmosphere. Maebelle Medina adds her own layer of unease to the story's darker corners. Zia Zamora rounds out the trio with a presence that lingers well past her screen time. Across the film, there are 7 scenes collected here that push past typical thriller restraint. Expect nude and topless stretches woven into the film's most exposed, vulnerable beats. Together the three actresses give "Creak" a body count of skin as memorable as its scares.
