look into the mirror... what do you see?
did you see yourself? if you did, have your eyes checked. hehe. =)
may inuwi si nanay, si nanay, sa bahay...
sinabit niya, sinabit niya sa dingding ng bahay...
pinasok niya, pinasok niya sa loob ng bahay…i was looking for something to do yesterday and i found a pirated vcd of
feng shui. [yes, our family harbors pirated vcds. that's a secret, okay? hehe. =)] since i'm bored to death, i decided to watch it. anyway, people have been telling me that it's a good one.
well, what can i say? so-so. it was not as scary as i expected it to be. not much like the asian horror films i've watched, but it was a close attempt. i think it deserves credit for its new-fangled plotline, but the makeup and prosthetics were quite disappointing. the ghost of the
bagua mirror,
lotus feet, was ghastly but not scary. as a matter of fact, i think she looks funny [mala-
espasol ang dating] hehe. =) plus, there was an awful twist on the death of the people who looked into the
bagua mirror wherein one's death occurs in relation to one's astrological birth year. i found lotlot de leon's death quite absurd. she was born in the year of the horse, and i was wondering how in the world could she be trampled upon by horses in a typical urban neighborhood. surprise,
kabayo ng plantsa at mga bote ng
red horse beer! hehe. fine. oh well, at least the writer was able to come up with something.
here are a few rave reviews [...that i don't totally agree with. hehe =)]:
Mrs. Cory Aquino – "It's suspenseful every step of the way… kailangang may kasama ka kasi masyado nakakanerbyos. It's really scary. No time to relax, waiting for those moments. Kris did a good job. She scared all of us. I think it's her best so far."
Dr. Vicky Belo – "Nakakatakot! Di na 'ko makakatulog mamayang gabi. Kelangan ko na ng bodyguard. Ganda! Grabe it was so scary!"
Fe Reyes, DTI – "One word… hair-raising! I recommend it. Please watch it."
Ricky Lo, The Philippine Star – "The ending alone is worth the admission price. The best of Kris!"
Jerome Gomez, Star Studio magazine – "Di ko ine-expect na ganoon ka-entertaining ang pelikula."
Rikka Dylim, ABS-CBN Talent Center – "It was really scary. Di ko siya kaya!"
Carlos Agassi – "Congratulations, Ms. Kris, Direk Chito, Star Cinema, and ABS-CBN. Pang-international! Sobrang nakakatakot! Napasigaw nga ako, nakakahiya eh. Good movie! Nakakatakot! Nakakagulat!"
Angge – "Di ako makapanood! Afraid ang beauty ko 'day!"
who's angge? hehe. anyway, the movie was okay naman. but it's not something that i would want to watch again, kahit daw
"ang hindi manood, dadalawin ni lotus feet..." hehe. =)
