natakot ba kayo sa HALIMAW SA BANGA?

[imogen]

bata pa ko nun... sa sine ko pa napanuod... grabe takot na takot ako nun!!! as in ayoko tumingin sa banga... or sa filipino comics... :eek:

[uptowngirl]

That was such a long time ago! I can't remember. Knowing me, I must have been scared! :eek:

[yeee]

SHEESH natakot kaya ako nuon,
I remember i watchewd that film pa with my yaya..grabe yun eh may banga pa naman kami sa bahay.

[broom]

oo! sobrang nakakagulat! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[Vera]

My golly! Starring ba si Matet d'on? With the famous line "takut ako?"

[Yoshi]

nakakagulat, pero hindi nakakatakot.

[imogen]

Yoshi... ibig sabihin hindi ka natakot dun sa HALIMAW? yung long hair na ang panget ng ngipin na laging umuungol and tumitili.... pati sounds kinikilabutan ako.... :eek:


tama bang dinadasalan nila si nora aunor dun?

[Yoshi]

imogen: Hindi ako natakot sa halimaw. The only horror "person" na kinatakutan ko si Freddie Krueger lang. Nakakatakot yung mala-ampalayang face niya. :D

Rumor had it na talagang minulto yung set nila. That I'm sure, but I don't know about the Nora part.

[ate germs]

tama bang buhayin ang thread na to... hehehe

<b>yoshi:</b> i think what imogen meant dun sa "dinasalan si nora" dun is kasi si nora kunyari yung mom ni lotlot dun na namatay (although she didn't appear in the movie, picture nya lang) tapos may scene dun na dinadasalan nila yung picture ni nora kasi baka "pa-syam" nya hehehe...

[vhrouu_12]

nung bata pa ko unang panood ko nun eh.. natakot din ako....

[ClauRic]

man bata pa ako noon liit ko pa noon kailan ba yon pinalabas? basta naalala ko napanood ko sa tv sa hapon pa nga nakakatakot..diba yung storya nya yung halimaw doon sa banga parang napunish sya tapos yung body parts nya andon sa banga..basta may tribo effect..kakatakot i still remember watching it..

[mikai]

yan b yung kay ian christopher ba na mommy nya si liza lorena na kinuha yung banga from benguet or sagada or parang sa kweba?

lam mo pag tignan mo ngayon parang corny nun aswang dun sa banga but mejo hawig nya yung mga nasa the grudge na ghosts na ang puti ng mukha na itim ang mata....tapos parang talas ang fingers?

yeah scary nga sha...minsan ata palabas sa cable but havent seen it for a long time...

[bhogz-gadget_02]

hinde ako natakot

[Green Mage]

masnatakot ako nun sa Tiyanak.

[dairycreamer]

hanggang ngayon, pag nakakakita ako ng mga banga, kahit yung oriental vases na malalaki, alam ko may halimaw duon sa loob ;)

yungtiyanak din natakot ako dati...pero nung napanood ko sa studio 23 recently, nabwisit na ako. ang panget pala nung tiyanak na yun, grabe. srap ipaghampasan. kumakain pa ng mop!

[benj20_ph]

i guess i must have been very scared :freak:

[avonlea]

mas natakot ako ng mapanood ko ang refrigerator... ilang araw kong hindi binuksan ang ref ng mapanood ko siya...

[purple_glasses]

the movie was entitled Halimaw. it had two episodes the first one Komiks was with Ian de Leon directed by his dad Christopher de Leon. the second was Banga with Liza Lorena & Lotlot de Leon directed by Mario O'Hara. It was one of the entries in the 1986 MMFF where Liza Lorena won the Best Actress award for this film.
The movie was produced by Nora Aunor's newly revived NCV Films. it was in the films' trailer where they showed Matet looking inside the banga and said "takot ako, eh!" which eventually became the catch pharase for the movie.

Yes, to this day Matet says that people go to her and say "Takot ako," remember Sweet was making her say it when she was being interviewed after her wedding?

[curseknots]

[makoy11]

[bhogz-gadget_02]

[luciam124]

ang mga tagalog horror movies lang na napanood ko pero luma na at kinatakutan ko ay ang mga sumusunod:

1. Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara (original version)

2. Gabi ng Lagim

3. Lovingly Yours Helen (yung kay Julie Vega)

[delphic_oracle]

One of the scariest movies I've seen as a child!

Well, I just watched it when it was shown on TV but it scared me out of my wits!

as far as i can remember,BAGETS GANG starred JINGGOY ESTRADA.

[ajoeroooo]

twas pretty scary, not bec. of the plot but more bec of the film's texture & color (kasi nga luma na) w/c made the film creepier & scarier. other good horror classics are :

itim- i like the scene of tommy abuel being approached by alive saints during his dream...

tiyanak- yung habulan ni lotlot & yung tiyanak tapos sinabunutan sya sa kisame

shake rattle & roll 1
ano pa ba...

[Noel Vera]

Originally posted by AmazingRace

That's utter bull. Halimaw sa Banga isn't all that frightening, but it's a very well made short film. The acting, the cinematography is excellent, especially for a horror film--it has plenty of atmosphere, and a creeping sense of dread. The gigantic statues of saints are eerie.

There's a subtext of tension between Lotlot de Leon and her stepmother, played by Liza Lorena; Mario O'Hara played her father (he won best actor for that).

Scriptwriter Frank Rivera based it on lower Filipino mythology. Tingting Cojuangco doesn't know what she's talking about (the first segment, however, was inspired by an "A-ha!" music video).

The ending SPOILERS is memorable: a voiceover tells us that this is the opening battle between the forces of Hell and of Heaven. It struck an ominous note, and suggested that there was more behind all this than meets the eye.

[Noel Vera]

Clarification: I don't mean what Amazing said was bull, it's true Halimaw only got 3rd Best Picture because Tingting & her fellow idiots didn't think anyone deserved better. What's bull is their reasoning--that the films were copycats of Western films.

Ignoramuses.

Ito yung hindi ko malimutan sa movie nato hanggang ngayon diba ito yung may parang music tapos may lalaking palakadlakad? ang isa pa yung vampire movie ata yun yung ang last scene e yung bata parang nakulong sa bahay, d ko alam kung ito yung pelikula ni jestoni o yung kay gabby, basta nakakaawa yung bata.

[melusine]

Actually, yes. It scared the hell out of me. Uso pa naman nung little kid ako yung these huge ceramic bangas as home decor, and when my parents would take me to other houses that had them, takot na takot talaga ako. I kept expecting a monster to crawl out. :lol:

[Noel Vera]

That jar cost three thousand pesos--almost as much as their monster makeup, which cost 5,000 pesos.

Big jars are always frightening, I think. They look old, and you never know what's in them, exactly. Maybe dead cockroaches, maybe not. :D

[melusine]

^ Oo nga eh! Everytime I complained, my mom would always say, "Ssshh, mahal yan. Baka marinig nung may-ari..." Hehe. Good thing they went out of style. I don't think they're particularly elegant anyhow, but this movie turned me off them completely. :hiya:

I didn't know about the MMFF brouhaha (although I'm not surprised--they're not exactly famous for their credibility). So, which movies won 1st and 2nd Best Pic that year?

Mapanood nga ito ulit, to see for myself if it's well-made, like you said. I just have this vague memory of the cheesy halimaw (5K-worth pala) make-up and Lot-Lot screaming. If it frightens the bejesus out of me, an adult, again, now that would be scary.

[Noel Vera]

There were no first or second best picture winners that year. They thought the entries were that bad (idiots).

The makeup and special effects were cheesy, but the script is well-written, the cinematography fluid, the lighting eerie, and the acting excellent--more so than is usual for a horror film.

[janray:)]

ako natakot ako! it was really creepy... ayoko ng panoorin iyon

[parisstpatrick]

Hindi. Ina-analyze ko nga kung ano ang ginawa ng director para magmukhang katakut-takot ang halimaw na nasa banga.

Hindi ako natakot pero pinanood ko pa rin siya kasi tuwang-tuwa ako doon sa bulilit na Matet na nagsabing "Takut ako!". Very cute siya.

(After this film, hindi ko na nakita si Matet kasi wala na ako sa 'Pinas)

[Noel Vera]

Not all that scary, but the horror sequences are well done and very low-key.

What's interesting is the story behind the horror, the tension between Liza Lorena and Lotlot, and between Lorena and O'Hara, who plays the father.

[parisstpatrick]

Mali yatang iyong may 3rd best picture pero walang first at second. Marunong ba silang magbilang? Siyempre, kung mayroong 3rd best, ibig sabihin may 1st at 2nd. Ang i-engot naman ng mga judges.

Kung ayaw nilang maybigay ng iba pa, then declare it as the Best Picture, at sabihing walang qualified na 2nd and 3rd best pictures, tapos.

Eh hindi eh. Hayan tuloy, yung humusga sa festival, sila ang hinusgahang kulang ng talino!

during the time it got released, its so NAKAKATAKOT! even now, i get 2nd thoughts if i should watch it again, TOO SCARED to watch it. i think i watched it 10 yrs ago pa but parang ayoko kong panoorin ngayon coz i was too scared b4.

of course, w/ special effects sa mga horror movies now, i guess iba na pag i- compare. but halimaw sa banga has this really creepy music, dark ensemble, and shock factor na pinoy na pinoy!

[strawberrywater]

yup!

i was scared out of my wits! well i was young then...

like that movie i was also freaked out by unding in shake rattle and roll...

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Kapapalabas lang uli kanina sa ch.2

[tartarman]

napanood ko ito kahapon sa akpamilya cinema, kaya lang ang daming cuts...

[SoliduS_AlphA]

Ako nung elementary ako natakot din ako sa palabas na yan pero nung haloween ang nakakatakot yung patayin sa sindak si barbara( sino director ng remake na ito? ) starring Lorna Tolentino , Dawn Zulueta , Tonton Gutierez , Antoinet Taus.

Sino pala yung mga artista dun sa original na Patayin sa sindak si Barbara ? At sino ang direktor nun ?

[clawed_out]

I can't recall how does that Halimaw look like.

But I got scared when I saw it before as a kid. :glee:

[Noel Vera]

I don't think the halimaw is important, and frankly, it's a disappointment to actually get a clear look at it. But the story between daughter Lotlot, stepmother Liza Lorena and father Mario O'Hara is terrific, and the story beyond that--a war between heaven and hell, of which this was to be the opening battle--is great.

The original Patayin sa Sindak stars Susan Roces and is directed by Celso Ad. Castillo--now that was a scary film.

[mars11]

OMG! this movie gave nightmares for years as a child... sobrang scary niya!

[Lt.lisahanes]

I was able to watch this when I was in grade school (remember Sari-saring Sine in ch.2) and it really did scare me. Like the others, it gave me nightmares. This worsened my 'talukbong nights,' where I would just cover myself up with my blanket every night when all the lights are turned off. To make it worse, we also had that kind of jar during those times and my blanket was thicker than usual (the Ilokano blanket?) so I always wake up drenched in perspiration.

Anyways, I'm not quite sure if I'll get scared again when I watch this movie now.

[chars]

oo!


hello Lt.lisahanes :wave: wala ***..:D

1995 direction by Chito Rono

1974 direction by Celso Ad. Castillo, starring Susan Roces, Rossana Ortiz,

[Noel Vera]

I'll admit it: Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara is possibly the most frightening Filipino film I know, and I've seen some--not many, but some. But Halimaw sa Banga I think is more moving, because there's a complicated knot of emotion struggling between Lotlot, Liza, and Mario O.

Plus it's really a glimpse, a quick one of a bigger canvas: a war between the angels in heaven and the angels in hell. That glimpse is scary all by itself.

[chigusa]

Yes, one of the scariest Filipino films I've seen next to Patayin sa Sindak... (I haven't watch the original version yet)

[geronimo]

i really don't think halimaw sa banga is scary.. i got scared when i saw it when i was younger.. but i was young then and i was a scaredy cat. i just saw it recently and i was like "eto na ba yun??"... mas nakakakilabot for me yung "huwag kang hahalik sa dyablo" ni gabby concepcion.. i saw it again the other day and it still gives me the creeps.. of course patayin sa sindak si barbara.. classic!

[Geeboy]

Shokot din me dun sa Monster Sa Jar... Hayyyzzz

Isa pa *** Shake, Rattle, and Roll *** mananangal starring Herbert "Puto" Bautista at Zuma starring Max Laurel... Still gives me goosebumps... kaka shokot talaga!!!!

[lovingkim]

first time i saw it i was scared but then watching the movie all over again was dumb. though the haunting background music was really good. *okay*

[-Teroy-]

Nung napanood ko ito sa Cinema One, wala lang. No reactions at all.

[-cyrix-]

yeah.. i do remember when i was a kid then.. napanood ko toh.. syempre bata.. what do you expect.. im ssooooo scared nung napanood ko tong movie na toh.. cant sleep coz it keeps on bugging on my head the scenes! hehehe

[tam6nm6n]

Grabe. Naaalala ko 'to. And if I remember it right, una ko 'tong napanood sa Sine Fiesta/Sari Sari Sine (ba yun?) sa ABS-CBN. Klaro pa yung scenes nung mga nalalaglag na malalaking pako sa utak ko. Basta, nakakatakot talaga yung HALIMAW! :rotflmao: :bop:
