The Ghost Bride

The Ghost Bride

For the month of November, Star Cinema brings you a somewhat ominous supernatural flick which stars Kim Chiu and Matteo Guidicelli, among many others.

Directed by one of the Philippines' master directors, Chito S. Rono, The Ghost Bride centers on the life of a young woman who struggles with the hardships on her family until one fateful moment she made a deal with a mysterious individual that she'll be taking part of a Ghost Wedding as the ghost bride and with that, a series of unfortunate events occur in her life upon the deal she made.

This film puts a new spin to the Chinese folklore of hungry ghosts and blending drama with horror is typical Star Cinema stuff as some say but once the horror parts kicked in, it kinda reminds us of that unforgettable horror film called Feng Shui. Except, this film isn't Feng Shui, this is Kim Chiu braving her way in a horror flick about her making a deal to be part of a Ghost Wedding with a deadly price to pay for her newfound fortunes. Well, it still feels like Feng Shui in every single way but The Ghost Bride really is as shocking as every horror movie Chito S. Rono made in his lifetime and this film dares you to brave your way to the very end of the film that is worth a nightmare in Binondo.

My rating: 3.4 out of 5.
