The Truth about Kimmy Dora and The Temple of Kiyeme Movie

My wife on the celebration of Father’s Day said…”I want to laugh!” We went to SM North Edsa to catch the movie and there are some interesting facts we’ve discover about it.

 At first, there was a blurring as to what really the genre of the film was. We both have seen its trailer and shocked to find out that the movie was horror.

This may be intentional but it gave viewer like me an idea that seeing the lead star of the film Ms. Eugene Domingo, it is normal to expect that the film is made to inflict laughter.

Although, it was there, the movie fails to highlight the very genre of it, because it was trying to stress horror and comedy at the same time.

Hitting two birds at one stone seem to be an in-effective approach here because at some point viewers were torn on particular feelings as to laugh or to be frighten.

Even at the time Ms. Eugene Domingo portray the role of Kimmy, although the character she’s playing appears to be intelligent and classy, still you would notice that the character is played like the way the actress speak.  And it was also not so clear if every time she portrays “Dora”, it has to be all the time speaking with her neck bent.

The movie is actually trying to inflict cue to fear every time the ghost, “Sang Kang Kang” appears. But the sound they’re making as to imitate the beat of the drums is quite weak. It has to be a little noisier, to match “Kimmy’s” reaction hearing a very loud noise.

The exciting features of the film was  the following; number one casting, I believe there was no one deserving and can act like the way Ms. Eugene Domingo did. Second, you’ll be surprise with several actors and actresses around in full-support to act in the movie. To name one, you would see here the queen of all media, Ms. Kris Aquino. Third, was the choice of location and props and visual effects used which I believe made the producer/actor Mr. Piolo Pascual, spent millions of peso.  One remarkable visual effect was the appearance of the ghost, Sang Kang Kang, in a form of a dark cloud.

As to story concept, if given much attention on horror it would seem to be one of the most effective way to market the movie. And I am looking at Kris Aquino as the best actress to portray the role. Or it would be someone of your best choice!
