Two new films were recently added to the streaming platform’s lineup of bold and provocative content—the sexy dark thrillers Kolektor and Malagkit.
Kolektor, a psychological thriller, is directed by Carlo Alvarez, while Malagkit is directed by Bobby Bonifacio Jr.
Kolektor follows Jessie, played by Nico Locco, a Filipino-Canadian with a troubled past who exudes irresistible charm. Left in the Philippines under the care of his stepfather Bernard (Emil Sandoval) after his mother’s death, Jessie becomes entangled in complex relationships with three women—Dawn (Candy Veloso), Anika (Salome Salvi), and Eula (Aiko Garcia).
Each woman is drawn to his enigmatic presence, but as their connections deepen, disturbing events begin to unfold. Dawn, whom Jessie meets in a mall parking lot, quickly falls for him but soon finds herself in peril. Anika is captivated by his appeal, unaware of the dangers ahead. Eula, who meets him at a market, is similarly unaware of the hidden secrets lurking beneath Jessie’s charm. As the women’s lives intertwine with his, a web of deception and fear unravels, forcing them to confront an unsettling truth.
Meanwhile, Malagkit explores the boundaries of love and desire as a young couple, Renald and Mindy, test their commitment before marriage.
Starring Lea Bernabe, Ashley Lopez, VJ Vera, and Ace Toledo, the film follows Renald’s proposal to Mindy, who suggests an unconventional test of their relationship. The couple moves to the province to live with Mindy’s former housemaid, Che, and her husband Aldrus, who run a small sticky rice business.
What begins as an experiment to strengthen their bond quickly turns into a test of temptation, as Mindy finds herself drawn to Aldrus’ masculinity while Renald succumbs to Che’s seductive presence. Their attraction intensifies as they overhear the passionate encounters of their hosts, leading to a night of indulgence that alters their relationship dynamics. Faced with unexpected consequences, Renald and Mindy must reconsider their future together.
Both films are now streaming on VMX.
