Movie Review: The Exorsis

Gina (Toni Gonzaga) and Dani (Alex Gonzaga) are sisters with very much different personalities. Gina is a formal, goal-oriented person, while Dani is more of a free spirit, living life on a day-to-day basis. Being orphans, it has been Gina’s responsibility as the eldest to take care of their family, and her grocery business has been able to provide for her and her sister’s needs. Fate makes a way for Gina’s unfulfilled dreams to come true when an opportunity abroad comes knocking on her door, but she becomes hesitant to grab this chance in fear that Dani, her reckless and irresponsible sister, will not be able to manage her growing grocery business.

One eerie night, a mysterious girl named Leng-Leng passes by and unfortunately falls into an accident right in front of Gina’s grocery store and dies. Her spirit wanders, finds Dani, and takes over her body. Now possessed by Leng-Leng, Dani tries to attack everyone she meets, including her sister. Dani’s condition worsens, and Gina finds a way to help and protect her sister.

 

The Exorsis is the most audience pleaser film of this festival. This is the Vice Ganda & Vic Sotto film of this year's Metro Manila Film Festival. I watched this in a full house movie theater and the crowd just kept on laughing at every punchline of Toni Gonzaga, Alex Gonzaga and especially Melai Cantiveros, who was always a scene stealer. It will definitely make you laugh especially for the fans of Alex Gonzaga who love her style of comedy. No doubt that the two sisters are natural comedians and they give it all to be more funny in this film. It's just good that somehow we have this kind of film that the audience still appreciates watching inside the cinema in this time and season. So if you are up for riot horror comedy film, watch The Exorsis.

 

 

 

My Verdict: 3/5
