Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.

Wakwak (1989)
Starring: Richard Gomez, Manilyn Reynes, Eduy Manzano, Janice de Belen
Director: Peque Gallaga, Lore Reyes
Premise:
A cult leader rallies his followers against soldiers trying to protect civilians.
My Take:
I've watched a lot of Filippino horror flicks and this one is completely different than most. It's grounded in reality with the cult story and a second major story with one of the women in the cult. It's an older looking movie but in a way that helps the overall feel of the movie.
Rating: In the middle
Watched: Netflix DVD
