Synopsis

Inspired by Jose Rizal's third, unfinished novel, discovered in 1987. A Spanish priest (Khavn) and a Filipino poet (John Lloyd Cruz) vie for the affections of an American woman (Lilith Strangenberg) who is going mad. Shot on expired film stock, which was then hand painted and scratched by the director, Makamisa: Phantasm of Revenge is made to feel like an unearthed relic; some newly discovered silent film from an experimental filmmaker from a century past.
