Spoilers alert! Caught it a while ago at the new Block Cinema in Sm North Edsa. Its still showing in two theatres at Sm North.
Chito Rono successfully combines again the elements of shock and scary value in his latest opus. Rip-off from Asian horror movies, where else can we borrow? But in defense, technically superior and can be at par with our Asian neighbors. They should have toned down a bit with the annoying musical score. But the cast especially Claudine Barretto, Bernard Palanca and most especially Ronaldo Valdez delivered the goods and deserve to be commended!
The scene at the morgue with Claudine & Bernard was the one that I nearly jumped and jolted me from my seat! It was creepily executed, the atmosphere, lighting and the visuals. I don't know if that scene alone can topple Celso Ad Castillo's horror opus PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA, but that scene alone in SUKOB is worth the ticket price already.
I need to turn on the lights in my room when I go to sleep tonight.
