Singsing Ni Lola

About This Movie

Singsing Ni Lola has this strange blend of family warmth and unsettling horror, a real oddity in the Filipino cinema landscape. The story revolves around a curse, cast by Dona Guada, that makes every female in Gloria Romero's family face a tragic fate on their 18th birthday. What sets it apart is the mysterious cat guarding Lola's magical ring—there’s something about that feline presence that adds a layer of intrigue and tension. The pacing is a bit off, sometimes lingering too long on moments that could've been tighter. But the practical effects, especially the ring's connection to the supernatural, give it a unique charm. Performances, particularly from Romero, are driven by raw emotion, which really pulls you into this world of familial ties and dark magic.

Watch for the unique blend of genres. · Pay attention to the cat's symbolism. · Not your typical horror fare.
