Scary

The problem with watching horror movies on the big screen is that it becomes scarier after you watch it.

At least that's true, in my case.

Ewan ko ba.

Matatakutin kasi ako masyado but I just couldn't live without regret if I fail to watch a (not necessarily) good scary movie on the big screen. It adds to the thrill. Watching the horror and suspense uncover infront of you is exciting. The feeling na gusto mong tulungan ang mga bida but you just can't because after all, isa ka lamang manunuod.

A "disabled" eye witness.

GMA Films' latest offer "Sundo" is scary.

But not as scary as Kris' "Feng Shui" and "Sukob".

Robin Padilla is effective.

Well, almost.

Hindi talaga maiwasan ang mag action scene noh? You know, that one sequence when he's looking for his "enemies" while toting a .45 caliber pistol.

Maybe it's just me.

One standout performance came from Mark Bautista. In fairness, emote ang lolo niyo.

And Simon Atkins played a minor role with Iza Calzado at the beginning of the film. Gwapo pa rin siya despite the supposed "scary" makeup.

Other actors were on the average. Like it's just another film for them. Director Topel Lee did not brought the best out of them.

All in all, "Sundo" scared the hell out of me. The gulat factor is well edited and the sound is timing.

I ended up sleeping in my sister and my pamangkins' room.

Natakot mag-isa?

Hahaha!

Basta, kung may spare time kayo, watch it.

If I had to rate it, hmmmmm....

Maybe a 6 out of 10.
