Clarita

I don't want to say it was garbage, but I did not like it that much and I good not wait for the movie to be over. It's a very weak story that was not even hitting the cliches hard enough for me to stay in it. Ultimately boring.

Because honesty is the best policy I have to say I didn't know fully what I was walking into. I read a synopsis but nowhere did it say that the movie was in Tagalog. I don't truly mind. I'm used to subtitles. I've watched more than my fair share of subtitled kung-fu movies and Japanese anime.

Clarita was really a Filipino version of "The Exorcist" with a few wrinkles. It had everything you come to expect in a possession movie: possessed girl, freaky contortions of the body, levitation, changed voice, rapidly deteriorating body, a priest or two, and an exorcism. Had it not all been done many times over before in American movies I may have appreciated this movie more.

The movie was great; it has the same intensity as Pope's Exorcist. The flow of the plot and flashbacks of each character were very smooth and detailed. I don't think that this movie is boring because it also has many lessons and a sense of realism. I love the part when the father said, "You cannot believe God without believing the existence of evil. I don't like how this movie was being reviewed,which was so misleading. If you love exorcism horror movies, this is very great to watch and would recommend it as one of the best horror movies in the Philippines. The actors did a great job.

Ai and Clark.

The movie inaccurately portrays Clarita's story. In reality, a pastor from the USA's Bethel Temple was the exorcist not 2 Priest, and only two demons possessed her, contrary to the 5-7 depicted in the film. For a more accurate account, watch KMJS Clarita. It's more truthful and reliable than this misleading catholic version.

The film strays far from actual events, distorting the facts for dramatic effect. KMJS Clarita presents a much more credible and authentic narrative, grounded in real documentation. The Hollywoodized rendition not only sensationalizes but also disrespects the true story. I recommend KMJS Clarita.

It has some jumpscares but I find the story a little boring. The movie has good sound mixing and colors but that's it. It could've been better in some aspects. Great acting by the cast though.
