Release
The film released in theaters in the Philippines on October 9, 2024, under Viva Films and JPHLiX Films.[5] It was also screened in SM Cinemas as part of Sine Sindak horror film festival which ran from October 30 to November 5, 2024.[6][7]
Reception
Fred Hawson of ABS-CBN gave the film a rating of 6 over 10 and he said; Perez was very imaginative in how he composed his shots during the climactic third act, but those familiar with the Caloocan City Hall complex will recognize where those scenes were shot. To evoke real-life horror of its premise, Perez mixed in CCTV footage of ongoing crimes where no one helped.[8]
Rated B was given by Roy Remorca of Cine Geeks Podcast and he wrote; Not all horror films need to subscribe to the tired, cliche formula of jumpscares every 5 minutes to tell a terrifying and possibly timely tale. It’s also worth noting that today’s audiences seem to be looking for films that cater more to both their amygdala and cerebellum, and it’s admirable that Pasahero choose to not just end up as another mindless scare fest.[9]
