This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
SANIB is a cheap EXORCIST clone made for local audiences in the Philippines. Presumably they're of the kind who won't have seen or know about the Friedkin movie which allows SANIB's makers to be pretty blatant when it comes to copying that classic. The story is about a bride who finds herself possessed by the sinister spirit of her own sister, causing much grief until a world-weary young priest shows up to perform an exorcism and all hell breaks loose. This is very cheap and melodramatic and not a lot else, possessing the usual TV movie-style atmosphere.
