i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Beautiful, moving film.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This sixth instalment of the long-running Filipino horror series is one of the best I've seen, with a trio of stories that feel refreshingly old-fashioned and fun. They're low budget and rough around the edges, but at least they're watchable to a degree. The first, Ang Telebisyon, is about a TV harlequin who comes to life to menace a girl. There's a very funny scene that predates that famous moment in RING by a year. The second, Ang Tulay, is a traditional effort about the ghost of a young boy haunting a bridge. The last, Ang Buwan, has a university student turning into a monster during the full moon and is the most fun of the three.
