SCAREGIVERS is a broad comedy horror flick from the Philippines and shot in Tagalog. It's a silly piece of guff about a goofy couple of guys who indulge in cross-dressing and the like. They also happen to be bumbling crooks who are caught and shipped off to a mental institute after their latest attempt at a crime. While there, they discover the place is haunted and attempt to solve the mystery of the haunting. The film is too cheap for much in the way of supernatural stuff, but there's plenty of hapless comedy and overacting from the two leads. Some of the OTT humour is similar to that found in Hong Kong cinema (e.g. the MY LUCKY STARS films) although not as slick or amusing.
