Locally-Made “DotA: Nakakabaliw” Is One Of The Worst Movies We Hope We Never See

Believe it or not, the image you see above is the actual poster for a movie showing right now at Philippine mall cinemas nationwide. We’ll let that sink in for a bit. Because for a theatrical release of something that pertains to eSports and popular MOBA game DotA, it looks like the guy who made this poster didn’t even learn how to use Microsoft Paint. To be honest, we don’t know which is worse – the trailer or this poster. Because the trailer might just make you puke. You know, we’ve seen low budget B Movies, we’ve seen indies, we’ve seen wooden actors, but nothing could have prepared us for this:

Oh God. The horror. Make it stop. Did you see that fight scene with the keyboards and desktop computer? How about that zombie scene? And don’t get us started on that rap song.

Is the Philippine movie industry doomed? How did this even get through some form of Quality Assurance? Why are local cinemas even airing this turd? Do these movies actually make money? God, we hope not.

Please, don’t watch this movie. Don’t give them your money. Everyday, local indie filmmakers upload their work on YouTube or show it at local fests and they are infinitely better than this. And yet, this is what our movie industry gives us in return.
