TUHOG (2013)

Directed by Veronica Velasco

Starring Eugene Domingo, Enchong Dee, Jake Cuenca, Empress Schuck, Leo Martinez

A road rage between two buses results into a terrible accident concerning three people, who already had their share of ill-fated lives.

I saw the trailer of this film a couple of months ago on the television and it piqued my interest since the plot was so different. I mean, it's not everyday that you watch a movie about three people getting pierced by a single steel pole. And no, this is not a horror film. It's actually dark comedy, which makes it even better. I finally had the chance to watch this the other day at a friend's house and I'm so glad we decided to watch it.

It seems like Filipino movies are getting better and better, in terms of the storyline and the cinematography. I really enjoyed watching this film. It was not only funny, but it was also kind of depressing in a way. I really like it when movies are able to bring out more than just one emotion. It makes the whole viewing experience better. And the actors were really good as well! Eugene Domingo always delivers and I can say the same about Leo Martinez and Enchong Dee.

Overall, Tuhog was a really good movie! It's definitely not your everyday comedy film.
