that'll be great! it's about time they unearth these classics and show them to the public on cinema one at least... altrhough it makes me cringe when the copies they show are all the censored versions. but like i always say it's better than not showing these movies at all.

Have you ask tukayo when they will show the film at Cinema One?

Does CCP still maintain a film archive? Might go there two weeks from now and talk to Mr. Fernando Josef, VP & Artistic Director of CCP. I'll ask if I can borrow their copy of this cult classic in vhs format.

They used to own the master print of Gallaga's ORO PLATA MATA and the other ECP movies, but they auctioned it already.

Yeah. Their film archive, last I remember, doesn't have 24 hour air conditioning, just a dehumidifier at night.

The best are still ABS-CBN's. That, or Armida's, or FPJ's, I believe.

Thanks for the info, Noel. I'll ask Mr. Josef.

Voted as The Best Filipino Horror Film ever made by the tv program ANG PINAKA hosted by Pia Guanio last October 29.

The Top Ten lists:

1. PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA (Celso Ad Castillo)
2. FENG SHUI (Chito Rono)
3. SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL (Borlaza/Bernal/Gallaga)
4. SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL 2 (Peque Gallaga/Lore Reyes)
5. SIGAW (Yam Laranas)
6. SUKOB (Chito Rono)
7. HALIMAW SA BANGA (Mario O'Hara)
8. ALAPAAP (Tata Esteban)
9. GUMISING KA, MARUJA (Lino Brocka)
10. HAPLOS (Butch Perez)

The jurors this time made the right choice for the number one spot! The scene where Rosanna Ortiz was wreaking havoc inside the house of Susan Roces and all the furnitures, objects were flying was so creepy and terrifying!!!

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #95 on:** Dec 28, 2006 at 07:16 PM »

Number one is a good choice, but I question some of those in the middle. And where are Gerry de Leon's horror films?

keating · « **Reply #96 on:** Dec 28, 2006 at 07:19 PM »

They missed some of Gerry de Leon's horror classic films. Even the original and remake of GABI NG LAGIM, SA INIT NG APOY & the omnibus DAIGDIG NG SINDAK AT LAGIM.

Mali ho yata ang timeline. Susan's Maligno win was against Vi's Burlesk Queen and problably Guy's Bakya Mo, Neneng. The Gumising Ka...Maruja thophy was the one against Nora's Atsay, and I believe it was Vilma's Pagputi ng Uwak not Rubia.

Lolita Rodriguez won the Famas for Tinimbang besting Susan's Patayin performance;Rosanna Ortiz was Asia's Best Supporting Actress for Patayin, did she win the Famas or anything locally?

Famas Best Supporting Actress that year was Anita Linda for Tatlo, Dalawa, Isa according to Famas Unofficial Website.

1974 Famas Winners

The masterprint at FPJ Prods. was still in good shape. Its now only a question of time when they will lend it to Cinema One.

Castillo also did one horror flick in the mid 70's before PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA & MALIGNO. The title escapes on my mind again.

Can we classify Abaya's directorial debut TANIKALA as gothic horror?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #99 on:** Dec 31, 2006 at 08:36 PM »

Susan Roces has an excellent betacam SP copy of Patayin and i understand that it's in excellent condition same with Maligno. FPJ does have an archive of the fuilms they produced but apparently the asking price for their library of films is a bit exorbitant making it difficult to acquire.

keating · « **Reply #100 on:** Jan 01, 2007 at 11:03 AM »

Why not lend it to Cinema One for just only one screening, Jo?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #101 on:** Jan 01, 2007 at 12:43 PM »

it has something to do with financial compensation, even for just one screening blame it on Eddie Romero

PAGPUTI NG UWAK, PAG-ITIM NG TAGAK (Celso Ad Castillo, 1978)

The film that caused Vilma Santos bankruptcy in the late 70's, is it worth? Yes... primarily for being the quintessential Celso Ad Castillo masterpiece. I liked it even better than BURLESK QUEEN. The narrative is slow but grabs you long before you finish the movie. Lyrical, poetic, the lush and stunning cinematography by Romy Vitug, solid technical craftmanship by Castillo plus the great ensemble cast from Angie Ferro, Adul de Leon, Lito Anzures, Joonee Gamboa and Bembol Roco makes it a worthy to revisit once again. George Canseco's music is a tough act to follow. The opening fiesta scene assures you already to sit back and let the visuals of Castillo astound you before he became rusty in the 90's.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #103 on:** Apr 13, 2007 at 05:49 PM »

I prefer Burlesk to Pagputi, but that's me.

keating · « **Reply #104 on:** Apr 13, 2007 at 05:55 PM »

Probably at par with PAGPUTI NG UWAK. His mind is rusty now, can't bring back again the visual genius that he developed in the 70's and 80's.

I have to see yet his other horror opus MALIGNO, KULAY DUGO ANG GABI. PATAYIN I only have vague memories and yes his exploitation flicks in the 80's....SNAKE SISTERS, VIRGIN PEOPLE.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #105 on:** Apr 14, 2007 at 04:24 PM »

But as recently as Lihim ni Madonna in the '90s he still did great work, I thought.

keating · « **Reply #106 on:** Apr 14, 2007 at 05:36 PM »

His remakes were so awful.....PINAKAMAGANDANG HAYOP, ISLA, VIRGIN PEOPLE II. I even walked out inside the theatre while watching Ruffa in PINAKAMAGANDANG HAYOP SA BALAT NG LUPA.

I haven't seen until now LIHIM NI MADONNA. Although I'm checking out the sked in Cinema One.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #107 on:** Apr 15, 2007 at 05:40 AM »

I haven't seen Lihim replayed in Cinema One since whenever.

Even Pinakamagandang Hayop--awful film--had its moments. A man being chased by another weilding a machete was incredible--Gerardo de Leon reborn, in effect. And the Isla remake had its moments, crazy as it is; even the Virgin People remake. If Celso can sustain that greatness for ninety minutes, we'd have a Cannes entry. Even now I'd rate him above Gallaga, easy.

keating · « **Reply #108 on:** Apr 15, 2007 at 09:06 PM »

Celso's mastery of his craft can be seen in his early films from the 70's and 80's. Too bad its very difficult to find any copy of his film. I'm dying to see even his skin flick NYMPHA released during the influx of bomba films in the early 70's.

Totoybato, same with your predicament, I'm dying to see those films that you mentioned. Both are still in good shape. But I have no connections on FPJ Prods. who holds the rights for PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK and JUAN DELA CRUZ.

The unfinished JUAN DELA CRUZ by master filmmaker Gerry de Leon is also on my watch lists! BTW saw some snipettes of PATAYIN last year on the tv show hosted by Pia Guanio still joy to watch those furnitures flying when Rosanna Ortiz was wreaking havoc on the house of Susan Roces.

Jojo, where is Biograph Theatre? Someone should call FPJ Prods, because they owned the rights from the two movies.

The unfinished JUAN DELA CRUZ movie sounds so craping great! Totoybato, I'm confuse with your posts.

Celso Ad Castillo on working without Production Designer on BURLESK QUEEN:

"Just a propsman only. I just chose the right place. Binondo, Cubao Cinema. Sa akin, basta makuha lang ang framework ng set. Tuwang-tuwa ako sa mga transition scenes sa Binondo, iyong mga taong naglalakad. Kaming dalawa lang ng cameraman ang nagpupunta. Isi-set up namin ang camera nang nakatago sa kalye, saka iiwan na lang nami't iinom kami sa kanto ng softdrinks!"

Celso Ad Castillo on making BURLESK QUEEN:

"Lahat ng highlights ko take one, except for that particular scene na nagbabalot iyong matanda sa likod tapos umiiyak si Vilma. It took time before they could concentrate in a place like that. Masyadong maingay at maraming sumisigaw sa Binondo. Finally when they were ready at magsisimula na ang kamera, at si Vi tumatapon na ‘yung luha, Umiiyak na ganoon, bigla may nagpatugtog ng ponograpo sa labas, so Vi got hold of iyong baso at binato sa loob.

Ang kuwarto lang kasi ang inarkila namin. Hinanap ko ang kuwartong pinagmulan ng ingay, sinuntok ko ang pinto. Iyon pala naroon si Lilibeth Perez. Siguro sabi niya, lintik pala itong si Celso. Because I always believe the first take is the best, always the best."

On Leopoldo Salcedo's death scene:

"Tuloy-tuloy ‘yun. nag-experiment ako noong una, kumuha ako ng second take, pero di ko na rin tinapos. Perfect na iyong una. Alam mo bang nang gawin namin ang eksenang iyon tatlo kaming umiiyak sa set? Ako, si Vilma, at si Leopoldo? Dalang-dala si Leopoldo sa pagsasalita ni Vilma, lumuha siya kahit patay siya dapat doon. Buti na lang di siya nakuha ng kamera.

Behind the scenes of BURLESK QUEEN:

"Umaayaw si Vilma. Naroon pa rin ang objections niya na for the first time gagawin niya iyon, e considering na I had a crowd of 500 extras sa loob ng Cubao Cinema. Kaya si Vilma, fourth night na kung anu-ano pang pinaggagawang dahilan. Sasabihin me pilay siya kaya di matutuloy, kahit naroroon na ang mga extra. Umabot ng three nights na walang nangyari. Fourth night, inagahan ko na ang punta, 9:30. I was not my usual self noon dahil pag ganoong me aberya, nambabato na ako sa set. Dumating si Vilma, me dalang maraming prutas, lansones, isang kaing na me dekorasyon pa’t ribbon, dinala sa akin, hinalikan ako, direk, I’m sorry ha. Then I knew she was ready for the take. She was now ready to dance.
