This film is very much anticipated for three reasons: 1) the movie is made by Regal Films – a film company that gave us the best Filipino films for the past few years; 2) the cast is very porwerful (Judy Ann Santos – best actress and Dennis Trillo – best actor); 3) and three, the movie was made almost a year. So with these ingredients, one will probably expect a quality horror film… NOT!
The movie opened with Mira (Judy Ann) driving a car, and having a road accident. Because of this, she will have amnesia. The movie starts its conflict when Mira was dreaming walking in the hospital alley, and seeing blood all over the walls. She then wakes up. The next scene, they returned home from the hospital. Before she entered their house, she saw an old lady looking at her from afar (inside the house). Then, the movie builds its conflict when Mira’s business partner went to their house. He and Mira had a private conversation. In that conversation, he said that they were suppose to elope but she never came. Surprisingly, this business partner of her is also her lover. But Mira can’t remember anything.
The next scene was the “scare scenes”.Blah blah blah…
Dennis suggested to her that she goes to see a doctor coz what she has been seeing (ghost) is probably caused by her accident. In the hospital, Mira’s lover came from out of nowhere, and told her that she has a twin sister, Maria. He then left the premises telling Mira that if she wants to know her past, she will just have to call him.
When Mira and Dennis arrived at their house, she was very bothered with the information she just knew. In the middle of the night, while Dennis was asleep, she looked for the contact number of her lover.
They decided to meet, and her lover took her to the mental hospital where her sister was confined. She didn’t mention anything about her sister to Dennis because she loathed her sister. When they met with the doctor of her sister, she was informed that her sister died. The doctors have no one to inform so they decided to donate the body in one of the med schools. Because of this, Mira was furious. When they went outside the hospital, Dennis comes in the picture. He will think that Judy Ann is having an affair with her business partner. Dennis and her business partner will have a fist fight. Then Judy Ann and Dennis will leave. Mira explains to Dennis why he never told him about her sister. Interistingly, her mother was a witch (mangkukulam). She and her twin sister was being taught of the craft. Mira however was reluctant. She left their home and went to Manila leaving her sister. One day, her mother died. Her twin sister became crazy causing Mira to put her to the mental hospital.
The following day, Mira opened her sisters luggage bag which the doctor gave to her the day they went to the mental hospital. She then saw her sister’s wiccan book. After touching it, she remembered everything. The day before the accident, she went to visit her sister. Maria was very angry with her. She attacked Mira and pulled her hair. When Mira left, Maria performed a soul transfer ritual using Mira’s hair that she pulled. That was the cause of Mira’s accident. Maria’s soul was transferred to Mira and Mira’s soul to Maria’s body. Because Maria didn’t know how to drive, she had the car accident. Unfortunately, she suffered from amnesia.
After her memory returned, she became evil again. She wanted to kill Dennis and their daughter. Fortunately, before Mira went to see her sister, she left a video of herself telling Dennis how to vanquish her sister.
To make the story short, Dennis did what Mira said in the video. The END.
The movie was a little boring. I was able to predict what will be the twist (soul switching) in the story even before the first half ended. The scare scenes wasn’t scary at all. There was only one scene that was scary for me. The scene after Mira’s lover committed suicide, Dennis saw and old lady inside their house, looking at him, and laughing. That scene was a little freaky. Aside from that, the other scenes were a little dull. Kris Bernal and Mart Escudero were useless to the movie. Removing them would’ve made Regal saved more money. Kris and Mart were as important as the sofa in one of those scenes. Pathetic.
Overall, I was very disappointed. This film is only 2/10. If you’re planning to watch this film, you should consider it again. If you are looking for real horror movie, try something else.
