Filipinos are very superstitious people. We count through our stairs before they are made (oro, plata, mata), we make sure our beds face the right direction, and we make sure everyone has finished eating before leaving the dinner table. Along with the ones I mentioned come a great lot of superstitions.

The title of the film says a lot about the plot and its bases. I really did not want to watch Sukob because the littlest things make my imagination busy and I easily get scared. I ended up doing so, with regret after the film ended. One reason is because I got scared. Although I only, literally, saw twenty minutes of the film altogether, the sounds and my peripheral view of the big screen was enough to freak me out. Another reason is because I hated Kris Aquino and her acting, and find it extremely unlikely that she won an award for her acting in Feng Shui, which I have not seen, though. In this movie about a wedding curse, for every line, every emotion, every scene, her face did not change. It was always sad, confused and her forehead was always wrinkled when she was happy, sad, scared, angry, confused or blank. Same way her ad, The many faces of Kris Aquino, for this makeup line, turned out. I know I have regrets about seeing the film, but I applaud just one part of the film, and that is, the both kinds of sukob were shown.

I definitely agree with those people who said that Claudine Barretto carried the film. No offence to those who like Kris Aquino, but I stand firm when I say she should stick to her game shows.
