Review: Sukob (Filipino for "Curse"/"Wedding Curse")
The story revolves around the superstition that a couple should not get married in the year as when a member of the family dies or gets married also at the same year.Here, Sandy (Kris Aquino) and Phil (Wendell Ramos) are scheduled to get married. While preparing, Kris learned what happened to her childhood friend Helen…
Helen got married a short time after her father died. A few weeks after the wedding, Helen’s husband dies in a plane crash. As she goes to the crash site, she dies in a bus accident. A few weeks later, Helen’s mother suddenly disappears inside her house as all their bodies have never been recovered.
Helen really has nothing to do with both Kris nor Claudine it just introduces viewers to the superstition…
Moving on, Sandy/Kris continues her wedding which translates into a series of unfortunate events… which are similar as to the stories about Helen... to stop this, Sandy searches for answers leading her to discover old family secrets which in the end would be the key as to stopping the curse that is “Sukob” (wedding curse)…
Well, this horror flick sure gave me a handful of scares all throughout… Kris Aquino’s acting continues to improve and Claudine Barretto is an established actress herself.. Wendell I guess needs more workshops… Ronaldo Valdez’s humor balances all the horror happening and Boots Anson-Roa, well for the role, she’s really over-qualified… what can I say?
As a whole… well.. the movie’s scary.. if you like movies that make you twitch from your seat from time-to-time go and watch this movie…
