Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay (2013)

I am not into the Horror genre but i am currently obsessed with Kathryn & Daniel so i am literally planning to watch everything i can find with them on Netflix.I definitely enjoyed the story,which are unlike anything other i have watched.I watched it with my younger sister who also enjoyed the movie!The film was pretty much spooky but done with much feelings. Daniel portrays the rebellious teenager Cedric who meets the coffin seller Leni portrayed by Kathryn.Despite their bad start they fatefully meet again but under the circumstances where they this time will lose their beloved ones to the grip of a dead spirit that will haunt everything they hold dear.Together Cedric and Leni decides to destroy the spirit.

I found the little boy Macmac very cute and my heart broke so much for him! It was so sad seeing him having to see those dead spirits.Cedric is a very mean guy from the start who under Leni`s influence starts to soften.I thought their blooming romance in these horrifying circumstances was very well done.I mean,the chemistry is always off the charts between them,love them so much!

Run-of-the-mill horror flick

I enjoyed this movie primarily for Kathniel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla). As a couple, they are to die for and I will watch any movie with them in it. I believe fans of these two will also enjoy this movie. Otherwise, it is just a typical ghost kills everyone one-by-one movie that every has seen at least once.

The one thing that was interesting about it was learning Filipino superstitions regarding wakes, such as not going home directly after a wake. I've never been to one so I don't if there are any such traditions in the US. The story became slightly more interesting after learning the ghost's motivations wasn't just because said teenagers violated a bunch of superstitions.

Was it scary? Eh, no. Lol but I don't believe in ghosts or spirits so these kind of movies rarely scare me. To conclude, horror fans will find this movie basic or forgettable but Kathniel fans like me will be happy to see their favorite pair in something different from their usual rom-coms.
