Baduy na if I'm Baduy, but I'm just a sucker for scary movies. So it really would'nt be a surprise why I watched Feng Shui tonight. Just got home from Makati. and the movie? Loved it! super! I'm not ashamed to admit that ever since I was a kid, even Tagalog movies like Shake, Rattle and Roll or Tiyanak, scared me till I could'nt sleep. But if you think I'm brave and all, what's ironic is that I easily get scared. As in easily. I remembered before when I was a kid, after watching those Magandang Gabi Horror Specials, my Ate would try to scare me by saying continously "ayan sa likod mo", and by that I would just cry till i could'nt breathe anymore. And that would be the only time she would stop. tsk! tsk! Looking back, it could be considered funny, but truth is, I'm still like that but of course, not in THAT way. I must admit i do still get scared. But the thing is, I still LOVE watching scary movies. In fact I'm not your typical girl which prefers romantic movies. Scary movies for me if you ask me. I JUST love the thrill, the suspense, the chills that it just gives you. Yup, I'm that person in the movie house who screams as if she was the one starring in that horror movie. I'm that person who clings to her seatmate tightly even if the scene is not frightening yet. I'm that person who cries for mercy so the movie would just stop showing those scary scenes. I'm that person who tries not to look at the scary faces at the screen but still sees it anyways and still ends up screaming. But most of all, I'm that person in the movie house who screams alone, even if the others find that scene corny. Yup, that's me during scary movies. hahha! :D

When I got hold that there was a new scary movie, which was Feng Shui, even if it was Tagalog, I did'nt really cared. Call me jologs but I just wanted to watch a scary movie. And Good thing that I did. I must admit I was even quite surprised that since we were watching at G4, the line for the movie was long. It was scary for me alright! Lets just say all the things that I've mentioned earlier about the things I do when watching a scary movie, all those happened while watching Feng Shui. And by that, it passed my criteria of a good scary movie, considering that its Filipino Made. I have watched those Japanese movies like The Eye, The Grudge or my favorites like The Sixth Sense andThe Others, maski nga Bankok Haunted, pinatulan ko eh, that's how much I love scary movies that I could'nt help but compare Feng Shui. And I must say, even if it was not as good visually or story wise, it still WOULD NOT pale in comparison. Pwde pa rin! hehe Promise! And no, its not because you all insists I'm like Kris but I believe, in its own way, it was able to deliver well because even if it had those obvious imitations of those foreign movies, it was still unique in its own way because it had a touch of our own culture. And just the technicality of how it was directed. The angle of the shots and all. Promise, sigaw me ng sigaw! hehe. To think my sore throat is still on its healing progress. hehe. But the good thing about it is that most of the people reacted the same way that I did. hehe. Unlike the last time I watched a Filipino Scary movie. I believed it was Malikmata. hihih. :D I don't know why Rage, Me and Co wanted to watch that film but we did. or maybe I persuaded them. hehe. And I think I was the only one who screamed in surprise or in terror in that movie. haha! :)

My sisters and I enjoyed Feng Shui. Right after we stood up, I really held tightly to my ate. hehe :) What was funny was that there were cameras outside the cinema. Probably getting reactions from the movie goers, my sisters and I literally ran so the camera would'nt see us. From that, nabunggo tuloy me sa poste. grr!! haha! :D While my mom did'nt really liked it that much. I guess, it would be expected of her to feel that way, since my mom just wanted to watch that movie to see Kris. Haaay.. showbiz!! And if we reacted differently to the cameras, my mom was like walking real slow. hahaha! again... showbiz!!! While my dad, stubbornly refused. Even if I told him that his ticket would be free since i have that Gentxt card, so he could just sleep inside the movie house, since his super ANTI-kris, he'd rather walk around than "sumama lng ang loob" in watching Kris. hehe. :)

If you've got nothing to do and just want to watch somehting for fun or for the thrills, I promise, watch this movie. hehe. :) Its not really super scary like the Sixth Sense which literally gives you the chills or has this "after effect" but this movie can still give you even just a little of both still. hehe. :) or that's just me, I mean coming from a girl who gets scared with even just a horror sound..so i guess its up to you.. hehe:)
