Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Today’s theme: Philippines

Celso Ad. Castillo made Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara (Let’s Frighten Barbara to Death) before this, a film where Barbara gives up a lover to her sister Ruth and leaves the country, only for her sister to kill herself, which brings her back home. This film has a lot of the same cast members but instead of a story of possessed dolls and sisterly warfare, this has a Satanic cult come for the unborn child of Paolo (Dante Rivero) and Angela Cortez (Susan Roces, who won the FAMAS Best Actress award for this) and their already born child, Yvonne (Maritess Ardieta).

Lucas Santander (Eddie Garcia) may be in prison, but when he has an interview with Paolo, he’s the one asking most of the questions, getting inside his head and explaining how he can help him. Soon, the Antichrist is in Angela’s womb, as reported by cult member Blanca (Celia Rodriguez) and before you can say Rosemary’s Baby by way of The Omen, this goes so far that father tosses daughter off a roof to her demise.

By the end of the movie, Angela is screaming at God, saying “I can’t take your tests any more! I don’t care!” Her rejecting the Lord is a massive act of heresy in the Philippines, a country that is 78.8% Catholic. We never see if God saves her, only a square up reel that shows a Mass and says that Jesus will come. That said, this is a pretty great horror film, despite the language barrier that came up at times.

In 2008, the series Sineserye Presents: The Susan Roces Cinema Collection, remaking several of the actress’ films, including this.
