Plot

edit

Mitoy (Jerald Napoles) and Boying (Nicco Manalo) are best friends but are also complete opposites. Mitoy is the cautious good guy, while Boying is the reckless rule breaker. Childhood buddies and brothers for life, they are two peas in a pod who always have each other’s backs. But all that changes when Mitoy and Boying are caught committing a crime at a convenience store, and only Mitoy is put behind bars despite Boying being the mastermind.

The once close friends grow apart, and Mitoy blames Boying for all his mishaps in life. They got the chance to reunite again after Mitoy’s time in jail and become coworkers at a funeral parlor. To life’s irony, they also somehow switched attitudes - Mitoy becomes the badass, and Boying is now the nice guy.

One fateful night, Mitoy, Boying, and some unfortunate people find themselves stranded at the same convenience store that brought nightmares to Mitoy and Boying’s lives. And though the store has a renovated modern look, it still holds the ghost of past crimes and a few other abandoned souls who seek payback and await to haunt poor victims.

Reception

edit

The movie received a score of 52/100 from 6 reviews according to review aggregator website Kritikultura, indicating generally mixed reviews.[15]

Stephanie Mayo of Daily Tribune gave the film a rating of 3 out of 5 and wrote; It’s truly the comedy that propels Pagpag 24/7. You could imagine the writers of the movie laughing out loud while penning the script. That’s the thing — Pagpag 24/7 does not take itself too seriously, hence the humor feels easy. It’s unpretentious and does not try to be more than its flimsy script. It’s enjoying itself — flaws and all — for the heck of it.[16]

Goldwin Reviews gave the film a rating of 0 out 5 and wrote; Makaluma ang atake sa mga eksena. Hindi okay ang mga transition at visual effects. Mukhang peke ang store. Pero hindi naman seryoso ang buong pelikula kaya hindi na rin ito mahalaga.[17]
