'Deleter' premiered in cinemas in the Philippines on December 25, 2022, as one of the eight entries of the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Filipino psychological tech horror Deleter will premiere in the UAE on Tuesday, January 10, following its success in the Philippines.
The film will release in Star Cinemas in Al Ghurair Centre on January 10, followed by Vox Cinemas on Thursday, January 12, 2023.
Deleter is a 2022 techno-horror, psychological thriller film directed by Mikhail Red, starring Nadine Lustre, Louise delos Reyes, McCoy de Leon, and Jeffrey Hidalgo. The film is an official entry to the 2022 Metro Manila Film Festival.
Red’s Deleter bagged the top award of the night. Aside from Best Picture, the movie also took home six other major trophies, including Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Lead Actress for Lustre.
Based on a script by Mikhail and Nikolas Red, the film follows Lyra, who works shifts at a shadowy online content moderation office where employees, known as deleters, are tasked with the process of filtering graphic uploads from reaching social media platforms. The responsibility of censorship proves bearable for Lyra, whom her co-workers, as well as her boss Simon, observe as a cold person unfazed by the disturbing imagery she sees on a daily basis. What they do not know is that Lyra hides a deep trauma. Lyra’s attempt to erase and forget her past has forced her to don an apathetic face to the horrors of the world.
It is the only 2022 MMFF movie that is confirmed to screen in the UAE so far.
Deleter was directed by Mikhail Red, written by him and his brother Nikolas Red, and produced by Viva Films.
