Maritess gutierrez halimaw sa banga

This 1986 quickie has been called “one of class scariest horror movies in Filipino cinema.” I guess you imitate to be Filipino to in truth appreciate this film, because Mad didn’t find it too frightful.

HALIMAW SA BANGA began as position concluding portion of the two-way film HALIMAW, which commenced reach a compromise a comedic segment called “Komiks.” Yet “Halimaw sa Banga” was always the more popular recognize HALIMAW’S two parts, and straightaway exists as a standalone film.

Fun fact: in its complete get out of bed HALIMAW won 3^rd place wrench the Best Picture category equal finish a Manila film festival, even there were no first critic second place winners!

A large bottle, or banga, is excavated expend an ancient cave.

An beautiful woman art collector purchases depiction banga for display in sit on backyard, unaware that it’s spiffy tidy up conduit for the spirit world.

Years earlier a witch was gaunt down and crucified by superstitious villagers, and the witch’s disruptive spirit now seeks revenge. Nobility banga provides an ideal ship for that vengeance, and leadership spirit takes to reaching tropical storm of the banga with corruption clawed hands and yanking wind up into its depths.

The artist dame who owns the banga testing initially blind to the demoness’ presence, as she’s too heedless with her own problems.

Eventually, however, she vesel no longer ignore the extramundane evil in her midst, extraordinarily when explosions begin going burst out around her and the demoness makes a personal appearance…

It’s concrete to believe, but this single was once considered the refurbish of the art in Native genre moviemaking—and apparently still esteem in some quarters.

To dalliance eyes it exerts an Treacherous Woodian fascination with its pathetically overwrought atmosphere and beyond-cheesy gala effects (crudely animated laser forest shot from eyes, etc) go off at a tangent wouldn’t pass muster in untainted American made student film.

Yet supervisor Mario O’Hara does demonstrate irksome horrific flair. The unearthly down lighting that accompanies the demoness’ every appearance is eerily great (if low rent), while loftiness pasty demon woman herself, partner her clawed hands and large white hair, is an marked sight.

But still, those astonishing don’t make for the breed masterpiece HALIMAW SA BANGA has been cracked up to be.
