Villa Estrella

July 3, 2009

 

All right. I’ll try to be as objective as possible.

Villa Estrella was another great movie by Filipino standards and maybe good enough for Hollywood.

The special effects were satisfactory except that the “monster” was a bit ugly and unnecessary. I was actually disappointed by it.

But I think the story was good enough, not exactly new but interesting enough.

What made the movie great was the impeccable acting of the stars in the movie. Shaina was really beautiful here and Jake Cuenca was good enough.

Another thing was unlike most horror movies, this one was not dark and gloomy from beginning to end. In fact, it had really hilarious scenes thanks to Empoy. The contrast between the comedy and the spookiness was entertaining. I laughed so hard at one of Empoy’s acts. More!

Then there was also the fact that the movie had a variety of color palette. This, again, made the movie fresher than the usual horror movies being made. It is in one word, vivid.

Now, I know some people will be saying that the movie is corny or plain horrible but I also know they are wrong.

It’s unfair to judge Filipino movies just because you were over exposed to foreign films.

In fact I believe that even though foreign movies have better special effects, Filipino movies are still great when it comes to acting talent, story, dialogue and creativity.

Villa Estrella may not be as explosive or jaw-dropping as say, Transformers (which Colonial-mentally-victims adore) but it is still worth watching. And that’s not just because I like Pinoy movies or because I have a crush on Shaina.
