The Herald and the Horror

The story is actually not that bad. It blurs the line between the supernatural and psychological. Moira's either possessed or her father's fears came true-she was assaulted while walking home late at night. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

All that aside, I think it's an artful representation of the dysfunction of a typical Filipino household. Parental fears and prejudices founded on personal shortcomings that became the reasons behind the strict upbringing. Adult children expected to behave like adults but the older generation treating them like children who don't know any better. Controlling parents and hypercritical grandparents. Heavy emphasis on religion and devotion but also rife with hypocrisy. Unresolved familial resentments aired out in the open for children and guests to witness. The need to escape such a hellhole without understanding the situation just creates another hellhole.

With all these being said, I hope this is the last time these actors act. Smh. It's worse than worst.
