Kutob () is a 2005 Filipino supernatural psychological horror film directed by Jose Javier Reyes.

The film was a box office success in the Philippines, with both Reyes and Agustin also winning the Best Director and Best Actor awards respectively at the 2005 Metro Manila Film Festival; the film itself came third at the festival.

The film contains elements of supernatural and psychological horror without being overtly of those genres, drawing comparisons in places to two American films; namely, Psycho and Carrie.

Synopsis Erica (Rica Peralejo) is having problems with her boyfriend Carlo (Ryan Agoncillo), whom she suspects of womanizing. She and her best friend, Mayen (Alessandra de Rossi), consult a fortune-teller who warns about danger that lurks ahead. When Erica ignores this, her relationship with Carlo worsens then her friends Amy (Ana Capri) and Lemuel (Marvin Agustin) intervenes. Erica tries to patch things up with Carlo but Lemuel, who is protecting a hidden desire for her, also has some things to finish.
