Halloween is right around the corner. The perfect excuse to be whoever you want for a night and *finally* go to parties as more places open up for the occasion. But if you’re part of the bunch who’s staying indoors this year and sticking to the usual horror/slasher film binge-watching this spooky season, you’d be delighted to know that Feng Shui’s restored version is finally on Netflix.
The highest-grossing Filipino film of 2004
Are you really Pinoy if you haven’t seen Feng Shui? The movie was such a success that it was the highest-grossing Filipino film of 2004, giving Kris Aquino the title “Box-Office Horror Queen”. The horror film directed by Chito S. Roño is one of the many local films that was digitally restored and remastered under ABS-CBN’s Film Restoration Project. Now available in high-definition, will the iconic jump scares and scenes look scarier?
No more illegal streaming or waiting for its schedule on Star Cinema, as it was recently added on Netflix. And it can also be streamed in other Southeast Asian countries! Watch it here.
It probably scarred you too
After the release of the movie, we probably aren’t the only ones who had to run upstairs after turning the lights out at night. No one wanted to see Lotus Feet, no one wanted to look at the bagua they would randomly see outside a neighbor’s home. Feng Shui changed Pinoy horror, and we’re elated that we can stream now this horror classic whenever.
