This mom is not a very huge fan of horror movies but I do get to watch sometimes if I like the story. So for this Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles which is the sequel of Tiktik, I think I’ll be crossing my fingers not to get scared much.

Aside from being part of a franchise, Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles also marks the comeback of GMA Films, being one of the film’s co-producers with Reality Entertainment and Agosto Dos. The franchise is formally inked with the momentous contract signing of the entities.
 Okay, this mom hasn’t watched the first part so I need to watch it first before seeing Kubot on the big screen. Just like the other bloggers who attended the blog conference, everyone have no clue what Kubot is really looks like. According to director Erik Matti kubot are mainly women which features their long hairs and whose abilities are more limited to morphing its hair into a tentacle-like mass, which they use to squeeze their victim’s innards out like gel. It gory enough to think of it but it is the local folklore.

According to director, Erik Matti, they have already conceptualized the story up to next sequel that’s why he needs to co-write with the writers just to make the story goes where he wanted it to go as a director. Just as always, direct to the point Erik Matti made every see through what he wanted to share and what he wanted for the movie viewers expects to see.

The story of Kubot happens two years after that whole tragedy in Pulupandan and is set in Manila. Macoy, the main character played by Dingdong Dantes just wants peace and quiet, not realizing that the aswang clans have a brewing problem. This time, Macoy will be fighting Doms, the character interestingly played by KC Montero. The main Kubot is played by Elizabeth Oropesa.

New additions in the cast include Isabelle Daza, Lotlot De Leon, Bogart the Explorer, Julie Ann San Jose and Abra. From the original cast, Joey Marquez and Ramon Bautista resurfaces as a different character. Introducing in the film in a special role is Hanna Ledesma.

If you’ve enjoyed watching the first part which is Tiktik, then you’ll definitely take on this next one. It’s a package of horror, comedy and action in just one movie.
