A cursed antique mirror is the threat at the center of the upcoming Filipino horror movie Knock Three Times, with Variety reporting that Jerrold Tarog (Quezon) will direct.
The film is being billed as a psychological horror movie based on Filipino folklore.
Knock Three Times “follows a young woman returning from rehab who discovers her mother has fallen under the influence of a malevolent antique mirror.”
Variety details, “The story draws from Filipino urban folklore, specifically a childhood ritual involving mirrors, candles and three knocks that serves as the narrative’s foundation.”
“What excited me about Knock Three Times is its emotional core,” Jerrold Tarog said in a statement. “Horror is most powerful when grounded in human vulnerability, and this film explores how trauma opens doors – sometimes literally – to forces we can’t control.”
“I see Knock Three Times as an opportunity to merge Filipino folklore with a level of cinematic psychological tension that international audiences appreciate,” Tarog added. “It’s intimate, atmospheric, and built around a universal fear: what we might summon when we confront the things we’re not yet ready to face.”
