Segunda Mano

When I arrived at the cinema, I was expecting a lesser crowd since its the second week of the film festival. But surprisingly, there were a lot, so I intended to watch the segunda mano first because it seems like people were really interested with the film obviously because of their long line and i wanted to watch horror movies with people around so that it will decrease the intensity of the "scariness" of the film.

Well after watching it I felt like I had been cheated to the point of getting the money i paid for the film. It was suppose to be horror right but all i got was suspense and comedy. I really was expecting much from this film knowing that Kris Aquino is the main character. But it was like Bangs Garcia, with her slapstic lines, dominated the whole film. It was really obvious that she overshadowed the quiet-pa"virgin"-na-di-naman Ms. Aquino. I think it would be a lot better if the real intention of the film retain because it was made for that genre. Believe me or not, once you've asked the audience right after the film, the would recall Bangs Garcia more than Kris Aquino or even Angelica Panganiban.

However, I commend Dingdong Dantes for his good acting. It was really effective and I can say that he really is suitable for that role. His image of pagiging tweetums vanished as he became the suspect of the crime.

Overall, I wasn't really pleased with the film but it was entertaining and yes shallow.
