Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Part four is one of the better instalments in this long-running horror anthology series from the Philippines; at least it manages to be entertaining - to a degree- throughout. There are three tales collected here and each of them has that good old-fashioned overblown 1980s horror vibe. The first, ANG GURO, is about a nice guy schoolteacher who turns out to be a hideous monster; good, campy fun then. The second, ANG KAPITBAHAY, sees kids being kidnapped by a park-dwelling creature and reminded me of the old MONSTERS TV show if you remember that. The third and final story, ANG MADRE, is about a monster that goes around terrorising and chewing up the townsfolk; of the three, this has the most atmosphere and scares.
