Filipino horror, as we discovered in our 2024 iteration of this list, continues to expand — merging folklore, psychological horror, and social issues in unique ways. While 2025 has its share of new and boundary-pushing films, the traditional heartland of Filipino horror is still in a perpetual state of dream hauntness. If you’re into horror films from the Philippines or want to see what’s new, from supernatural stories, eco-horror, to monster features, here’s your list you’ll want to explore. You may also check our guide to the Best Filipino Movies of 2025 for more cinematic highlights.
Creature-features (or cryptids), eco-horror, psychological dread, and even silent filmias (which isn’t part of the first wave of horror). Untold, The Caretakers, Lilim — and Posthouse are really bringing new (blood). Movies like Lisik: Origin Point and the new anthology Shake, Rattle & Roll Evil Origins drop later this year.
For those hunting for a guide to 2025’s latest Filipino horror films to screen, we have links and full reviews, reading your watching choice, and guide for where to stream — serious time stews through both big and small independent gems as lesser-known forms of fright.
| Film Title | Year | What Makes It Stand Out |
| Untold | 2025 | Psychological horror; a reporter haunted by her past and a curse bracelet. |
| The Caretakers | 2025 | Eco-horror: two mothers, disputed land, nature, family tension. |
| Lilim | 2025 | Atmospheric supernatural horror by Mikhail Red; cult and orphanage setting. |
| Posthouse | 2025 | Monster myth (Manananggal), lost silent films, blending folklore & media. |
| Lisik: Origin Point | 2025 | Zombie-like outbreak in school; junior high students fight infection. |
| Shake, Rattle & Roll Evil Origins | 2025 (upcoming) | Anthology horror spanning past/present/future; part of a long-running series. |
Lilim and Posthouse take familiar myths (in this case, Manananggal) and place them in new settings.
Untold and The Caretakers are not simply horror, but are premised on explorations of guilt, environmental responsibility, or moral ambiguity.
From anthologies to monster movies to eco-horrors, these films further expand what “horror” can mean in Pinoy cinema.
If you favor psychological thrillers over jump scares, Untold or The Caretakers are both great selections.
Yes — Posthouse (that center around the Manananggal myth) and Lisik: Origin Point both deal with supernatural/monster-type threats.
It will be released on December 25, 2025, in conjunction with Metro Manila Film Festival.
Some (like Untold) will be streaming while the others will show up in cinemas. Be sure to check out listings in your local theaters, Filipino streaming services, and film festivals.
