Movie Review: Tragic Theater



The only tragic part about this movie is the time and money you spend on it.  Skip it.

Ok, straight to the point: I haven't seen a movie this terrible since... the last terrible Viva produced movie I've seen (My Lady Boss? was it? I tried so hard to forget).  I'll skip all the blah blah parts and go to the TL;DR part:

-- There's supposedly a story somewhere but it got buried in the director's attempt at telling...something
-- The movie we saw, this was in the actual fing movie theather, had many multiple pauses, like hard 1-3 second pauses.  The ticket seller implied this was due to the supposed censorship applied to this movie, but shit, it was as if the digital copy of the file (which I assume Greenhills theater to be utilising) was fucked
-- Too many cheesy and uncessesary special effects
-- Whoever edited this film should be allowed to graduate school.  I think this 'movie' was a worthy high school project.  They should move on to bigger and better things.
-- This movie seems like an excuse for Viva entertainment to let their 'talents' off the leash, or at least claim credit for a 'movie' in their resumes.  I'm not sure WTF they were doing, but I'm sure it wasn't 'acting'
+/- The only creepy and halfway nice thing about this movie was the intro scene -- it was tragic (this was showing a flashback of the 'tragic' event that occured) and it reminded me of that creepy scene in The Ring (where people were writhing about, like worms).  It got me all hot and bothered but maaaan, the rest of the movie happened.
- Poor John Estrada.  He can act.  I'm not sure WTF Christopher De Leon was doing though.  It reminded me somewhat of Anthony Hopkins in the first Thor movie, where you could almost see in his face and eyes the bewilderment he was experiencing, something like WTF am I doing in this movie.

The only, ONLY way you can enjoy this movie is to watch it with a few like-minded friends and laugh at how bad it was (just like that episode in the Community).  Other than that, save your money and ESPECIALLY your time. Stay at home. Read a book. DO NOT SUPPORT BAD MOVIES.

Verdict 1/5 (I was somewhat entertained, but unintentionally so).
