Is it a horror or a comedy or whatever, you decide.

From what I know this is one of the high grossing movie when it was released on 2013 but I don't really have high expectations about this but it still did not fail to disappoint me. I watched it recently because I'm in a wake and felt to be in the mood for horror and felt like this movie is the perfect fit.

In summary, this puts together different superstitions that Filipino believes during a wake placed on a really messy plot sugar-coated by famous and star-studded casts. To be honest, I didn't like the how the story is presented at all but I kept watching it because the casts are familiar faces making it tolerable. KathNiel is a well-known celebrity on screen and real life couple so no doubt that a lot of KathNiel's fan watched this movie. The casts really acted their parts well but it's just absurd because I know it's a horror movie but I kept laughing out of absurdity. It confuses me what the goal of the movie is. On those scenes that looks really eerie, they suddenly puts the main leads staring at each other and match it up with a suddenly romantic song. I don't know if they are going for horror or romance or what but this failed epically.

Don't get me wrong though, the casts did their part well and I know this actors and actresses to be good at what they do but the way the film is presented made their efforts waste into drains. If the execution was right, the plot can be an interesting one but they went to confuse the audience what genre they are watching for.

If you're a KathNiel fan, go for it the actors really did well anyway so I don't think it will be a waste of time. Just don't expect too much.
