"Feng Shui" is my first foray into Phillipine cinema and my hopes were high, but unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed. The story starts out good enough - when Joy Ramirez (played by Kris Aquino) finds a bagwa (a "good luck" charm that somehow finds it way to Manila from China) and at first gives Joy incredible luck at the expense of everyone else that looks into it. As for the movie production-the plot is pretty straightforward and pretty predictable, while the effects were nothing special. And while the paranormal aspects of the film does warrant it to be classified as a "horror" movie - little else does. Hopefully future viewings of horror movies from the Phillipines will do much to improve my impression of their ventures into the horror genre.
