Reviews

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
toni-tani1 One of the better horror movies of the era. Based of real life events, it shows the unexpected passing of a young woman whose story transcended the real and the ghostly. Beautifully acted by a wonderful cast led by Rosita Noble, her character was of a young woman who was raped by a man (Oscar Moreno)after which her body was thrown in the street (Balete Drive)only to be ran over by a passenger bus. She wasn't ready to die and her soul wanted vengeance. She would manifest herself to several people in her ghostly form, even enticing several male extras until she found the man who raped her. Throughout the movie, she haunts him and appears everywhere he goes. He doesn't see her but only feels her presence. She does have her vengeance in the end. Beautifully directed, too. It is highly recommended and would probably be rated as one of the better horror movies in Philippine Cinema.
