Here are some movies that scared (and used to scare) me:
1. 'Wag Kang Lilingon. Starring Kristine Hermosa, Anne Curtis, and Marvin Agustin.
Maybe I was not that scared with this movie but I can't help but admire the plot. The twist in the story is so amazing that I watched it again and again.
Who would have thought that a seemingly harmless nurse could be the cause of a series of deaths that she herself was investigating?
"Kung mahal mo ako, wag kang lilingon..."It was in this movie that I saw Anne's potential as an actress and how much she had grown through the years.
2. Feng Shui. (Starring Kris Aquino, etc)
I would honestly say that I did got scared with this movie. I was also surprised with Kris Aquino's acting because I really used to hate the way she acts. I don't think there is a need for me to elaborate on this as Feng Shui is considered as one of the best filipino horror movies of today.
3. Mag-ingat sa Kulam (with Judy Ann Santos, Dennis Trillo and Sharlene San Pedro)
Amazing, scary and amazing!
I was covering my eyes the whole time. The special effects are really something and worth applauding. Like "Wag kang lilingon" the twist in Kulam really scared the hell out of me.
It was a story of Maria and Mira, twins who grew up with a witchdoctor mother who trained them to use their powers. Mira reluctantly follows while Maria eagerly accepts the powers. When she is old enough to leave, Mira left their place and went to a faraway place to study where she eventually became a top agent in her company.
After Mira had an accident and lost her memory she started behaving oddly and seemed to see ghosts. With the help of his former lover, Mira remembered about Maria and slowly started to understand the horrors happening to her.
She was warned by a witch doctor they had consulted that when the eclipse comes, she could never escape the powers of her twin sister Maria. She was scared as well as her family and prepared for the arrival of her sister's spirit.
On the night of the eclipse, the family was separated and Maria found the book of witchcraft given to Maria by their mother and suddenly remembered everything.
"Ako si Maria..."
Realizing what happened, Maria (trapped in Mira's body) set out to kill her sister's shocked and confused family. Knowing that this will happen, Mira left a video tape to her husband instructing him what to do in case of her death. Paul (Dennis Trillo) followed the instructions and, before he could be killed by the avenging Maria, was able to destroy the spirit of his wicked sister in law.
The only hitch of this movie is the final appearance of Mira's ghost. It would have been better if it wasn't shown and allowed the movie to end as it is. It would have been more scary. The arrival of the ghost made the story more unrealistic than it should be.
4. Multo in the City
I don't exactly remember who were the characters in this movie or who directed it and when was it released but this was one of those horror movies which really scared me when I was in the elementary. I remembered the story revolved around an unearthed skeleton of a child which made her mother's ghost haunt the school where it was found. If I'm not mistaken the ghost was portrayed by Jacklyn Jose and she was really scary with the black veil and the look in her eyes.
6. Shake, Rattle and Roll
I forgot what episode but I know it was the story wherein a little girl was locked in a cabinet by hre brother and died in there. The little girl started haunting the cabinet. After watchng that movie, I refused to open any cabinet and would even imagine the face of the child inside it. When I was younger I used to think that I could hear a child crying from the cabinet in our house. Even until now when I would be reminded of the movie I would get chills whenever I would be near a cabinet. Any cabinet. =)
7. Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara
I don't know what scared me about this movie. All I know is that, whenever this movie is mentioned I would feel a kind of fear brought about by something that's supposed to happen. I don't know. Its like being scared by a memory you can't even remember.
8. Dear Tita Helen
I am not sure if it was the right title but I know it was a movie which starred Sharon Cuneta and I think Julie Vega. It was something about exorcism and the face of Julie Vega was really really scary. Especially with her floating and and having those green bubble like thingy coming out of her mouth. I was so scared after. I remembered that people said that it was one of the last movies where Julie Vega appeared and superstitious people said that the exorcism scene caused her death.
9. Maalaala Mo Kaya- Halloween Special Episode
It wasn't a movie but it was scary. It was the episode where Judy Ann was possesed by evil spirits because she cursed God after her family was killed. I was really scared with the scene wher Judy Ann was floating outside the window and laughing.
I don't know about others but these movies really made a mark in my mind and really scared me like hell. Maybe I'm just a scaredy-cat or maybe...their just that scary.
