Review of Feng Shui

Feng Shui (2004)
8/10
The Filipino Take on the Horror Genre Has Evolved
2 November 2004
If you categorize this movie with other Filipino horror flicks, "Feng Shui" will definitely stand out. It's one of the few Filipino horror movies that succeeds to gratify viewers. It is really true to its promise - It is really scary!

I didn't expect the enthralling experience this movie gave me. I walked into the cinema thinking that it would be another horror flick taken from cached concepts. I was actually wrong. This is an initial take in terms of the Filipino cinema.

I would also have to commend the outstanding sound and film editing of this film. It's apparently excellent.

Although it wouldn't be very easy to brand this film as "the best Filipino horror flick ever", I would have to say this is one of the best. It totally surpassed my expectations and it made me establish a positive inclination towards the Filipino cinema. It showed me that the Filipino cinema has something excellent to offer. Filipino movies like this can actually blend with outstanding movies abroad.

"Feng Shui" is an enjoyable Filipino horror movie. It deserves all its raves from the mainstream audiences and critics alike.
