every october, i venture into a horror film binge in preparation for halloween. this year, i decided to go local. we do have quality horror films. you just have to throw out whatever preconceived notions you have about locally made horror films. times have changed.
presenting my list this year.
1) shake, rattle, & roll 12
i agree with philbert dy when he said that the franchise continues to give a mainstream platform for talented filmmakers. jerrold tarog's punerarya alone makes srr 12 worth seeing.
2) shake, rattle & roll 13
supposedly, srr 13 is directed by three of the best filmmakers around - richard somes, jerrold tarog, and chris martinez, but i ended up disappointed. i expected more from them. but anyway, it is still worth seeing. good production quality overall.
3) tiktik: aswang chronicles
tiktik succeeds in offering something new! violently fun and offers a quick peek on the future of philippine cinema.
4) pridyider
it's not bad but it's also not that good. if you're into sam raimi horror films, maybe you will enjoy pridyider... a fresh and courageous effort by director rico maria llarde.
5) segunda mano
disappointing but good acting made the this film tolerable.
6) aswang
hmmm. also a disapointment but good thing i have a thing for lovi poe. i succeeded in finishing the movie. haha.
7) the healing
chito rono still has it. not as good as feng shui or sukob but it's lots of fun.
