Aluna U @RT14704568 Sep 29 Feng Shui delivers a unique horror experience by blending Chinese superstition with psychological tension, centering on a cursed Bagua mirror that defies its supposed promise of luck. With a well-developed narrative, strong performances—especially from Kris Aquino—and eerie atmospheric elements, the film captivates horror fans despite minor flaws in character chemistry. It’s a cleverly crafted supernatural thriller that explores how fortune can turn fatal.

See more 10/11/2014 Didn't deliver adequate scares! Boring! See more 08/17/2014 It only works because of its cheesy yet expertly constructed drama that blended so well in its overwrought yet loosely conceived horror premise plummeting with scares tasked to compete with other Asian horror movies. See more 12/25/2012 Feng Shui is a breath of fresh air; it offered a creative concept not only for the horror film industry, but also to Asian cinema as well. This Kris-Aquino starrer will give you chills until the credits roll and will leave you paranoid even in your nightmares. See more 11/08/2012 I don't regularly watch Tagalog movies as I was really becoming skeptical of our local films (except for the ones that come out in December for the film fest). I was quite intrigued about the hype that preceeded the showing of Chito Rono's 'Feng Shui'. People said it was really scary. They said Kris Aquino's acting has definitely improved and was on full display in this movie. "Okay, why don't I check it out." So, I go to the theater to watch it. 25 seconds into the film I was already getting goose-bumps and the eeriely strange feeling that I was gonna like this flick! And I did! I've never been a fan of the horror genre--deemed it was too corny and nonesensical. I started getting to like the genre when I saw M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Sixth Sense', which was then followed by the really cool Gore Verbinski-version of 'The Ring'. 'Feng Shui' treaded on the same path. What really held my attention to the film were 3 things: 1)Chito Rono's script -- though it has a lot of similarities to it's horror predecessors, it does it's best to be 'creative' (the animal representing your year of birth determines how you die) and uses Filipino superstitious beliefs to make the story more accessible to the audiences. I was mystifyed with the whole good-luck-bad-luck-relationship and how it plays well into the story. 2)the directing -- Rono did a great job here. the story is well-paced. the shots are very professional. the effects were definitely on par with (maybe even better than) those of other Asian scary movies. 3)Kris Aquino's acting -- I wasn't a fan of hers until she showed audiences her improved acting in 'Mano Po' and 'Mano Po 2: My Home'. Here, she goes two notches higher. I know she still has a few more rough edges left, but she has really come a long way from her first appearance on TV (on an episode of an anthology series with Gabby Concepcion). She now knows how to look really scared and make you believe it--for the most part, that is. Overall, I think 'Feng Shui' is not only a good showcase of Kris' enhanced acting chops but also a glaring evidence that the Filipino cinema still has a few tricks up its sleeve!
