CIRCLE OF BONES

I saw this movie tonight, Thursday, February 15th, 2024, via my computer's TUBI Streaming App, from the comfort of my living room chair. 🪑

This Pinoy Horror movie is written, directed

and also stars a Vincent Soberano. I

thought that he might be related

to Liza Soberano. But I was

wrong about it. 

SCENE COMMENTARIES:

The site location of this movie, the island of Bohol, looks so much nicer and modernized now. Back in the '50s to the '60s, it was still mostly backwards country. And the rest of the country regarded the Boholanos as somewhat like the American Hillbillies---No, not The Beverly Hillbillies! 😀 A movie was made about a Bohol native back in the early '70s. The lawyer whom the movie producer hired to handle the production's legal matters was a close relative of mine! The movie, by the way, is BOL-ANON KO NYOR ( I'm A Boholano, Sir ), which stars Yoyoy Villame.

I mentioned Yoyoy Villame in my blog on 1521: THE QUEST FOR LOVE AND FREEDOM. ( Friday the 13th, October, 2023. Just scroll down to where it says, 👉And here's a popular, brief lesson .... ) 🤓

Unfortunately, my siblings and I were already getting ready to immigrate to the USA before I even got a chance to see this "Boholano" movie. If it even made it to the Big Screen!  😕

-------

Why didn't the FBI retrieve their own female agent for debriefing, evaluation and psychiatric care? 

When they entered the Devil's Lair, the first thing that they saw was a candlelit altar that had a stupid-looking fake human skull 💀 on it! With all of the surplus skulls that they had laying around from their victims, you'd think that the cultists would have enough sense to put a real skull 💀 on the altar!  🙄

I didn't know, before watching this movie, that there is a Tagalog version of The Lord's Prayer! But, don't they have a Bisayan version of it, too? After all, missionaries hand-out Bibles in Tagalog and in Bisaya ( and in other Pilipino languages ) all over the Philippines. 🧐

Yawa is the Bisayan word for Devil. It's not to be confused with Yahweh--Heaven forbid! 🤨

From Sex Tourism to Sacrifice Tourism. Yeah, that should liven things up with the tourism slogan, "There's More Fun In The Philippines!"  🤪

We know that Sex Tourism is evil. 👿 But this movie takes it to a whole new level of evil, evil Sacrifice Tourism Cult Evil! 😈

If she really wanted to hide her daughter, there are 7,641 islands in the Philippine Archipelago, or 7,637 islands, to hide her daughter in, depending on whether or not you ask a native Pilipino or a chinese foreigner! 😒  Or she could just hitch a ride on one of those islamist supply boats illegally coming to and going back to Malaysia or Borneo for weapons and bombs. She could easily pass for a "milf" 😉 and go for a ride with members of the MILF ( Moro Islamic Liberation Front )!  😜

Instead of just standing there pointing her gun at the demon-possessed man, why didn't she just go ahead and squeezed off a few rounds when she had the chance?  🤷‍♂️

FBI agent Karen seemed to carry 17-round clips. I'd carry extended 32-round clips, myself! 😎

Why didn't the Daylight ☀️ affect the demon-possessed one? Is it part of the new power that it possessed? The reason could be that it might have a Congestive Heart Failure disease if it had to walk 2 hours a day!  A trade-off because nothing's ever free, Even In The Afterlife❗  😁 😁 😁

So, nobody reported a missing police vehicle which probably had a GPS tracker on it?!?!?! 🤷‍♂️  And not to mention the missing police officers who rode in it! 🤦‍♂️ Yeah, right ....  😒

FYI:

There's something cute but scary that you'll likely encounter at night in Bohol--you've been warned:
