The demise of Joey Gosiengfiao solidifies now the status of Elwood Perez as the sole survivor of Phil. Camp Cinema which they monopolized in the 70's. With the exception of Emmanuel Borlaza who did the impressive DARNA AND THE GIANTS without CGI effects mind you, and Danny Cabreira who made the wacky and hilarious ELEKTRIKA KASI EH.
What the f**k is the opening credits?....I thought the movie will be set in the fashion and modelling world with Lorna Tolentino and Rio Locsin posing for a cologne ad! From the petty quarrels during their childhood days, Kristine Garcia as the young LT slapped by the wedding cake during the wedding of their parents by the young Rio to the explosive fight up to the finish, STEPSISTERS is the ultimate Pinoy Revenge Movie. How bad it is? Not really...... a dead cat was served during breakfast, there's plenty of skin exposure in bathing suits by the two protagonists and the extended love scenes Cool......the big fight scenes between the two bombshells will equal the fight scenes in Gosiengfiao's TEMPTATIONISLAND from the swimming pool down to their respective rooms. And there's a twist in the finale! From being a melodrama, you've got to hear the extended version of Rey Valera's hit song TAYONG DALAWA, it turns into a thriller in the end!Grin
Elwood Perez always surprise me, sure he cannot revolutionize electric fans in the desert, his characters often get the most ridiculous perceptions from the villains but STEPSISTERS is a camp masterpiece, Elwood na Elwood. The mansion looks creepy at night, dark, perfect setting for a dysfunctional family where love doesn't rules.
