MMFF 2025: Which Movie Fits Your Mood?
The 51st Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2025 is just around the corner, kicking off on December 25. This year’s festival brings eight films that match every kind of mood — from horror and romance to drama and thrillers — making MMFF 2025 one of the most exciting editions yet.
Feeling Brave? Watch Horror
If you love a good scare, Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins is your top pick for MMFF 2025. This new installment in the classic horror anthology serves up supernatural chills, creepy folklore, and twisty endings.
Love in the Air
If romance is what you’re after, another MMFF entry, I’m Perfect, offers a heartwarming story about love between two adults with Down syndrome. For a lighter vibe, Love You So Bad delivers youthful rom-com energy, filled with first-love charm and laughter.

Family-Friendly and Heartfelt
Families and friends seeking touching stories will enjoy Rekonek, a drama about relationships, reconnections, and life lessons with an ensemble cast. Meanwhile, Call Me Mother, starring Vice Ganda and Nadine Lustre, blends comedy and social relevance as it tells the story of a single queer mom aiming to adopt her son.
Action and Real-Life Stories
Thrill-seekers can dive into Manila’s Finest, a crime thriller starring Piolo Pascual set in 1969 Manila, full of suspense and moral dilemmas. On the other hand, UnMarry explores adult themes through a couple’s annulment journey, while Bar Boys: After School captures the coming-of-age adventures of young adults navigating life and friendship.
With the Parade of Stars on December 19 in Makati City and the Gabi ng Parangal awards night on December 27, MMFF 2025 promises excitement on and off the screen. Whether you want scares, laughter, or heart-tugging stories, this year’s lineup has something for everyone.
