Review from the Pinoy DVD message board: GABI NG LAGIM NGAYON based on a radio serial brought me goosebumps during the 80's opens to a scene where breathtaking winds blast the windows and furnitures inside the room of the late Charito Solis. Solis is one great actress whether screaming and emoting which comes to my mind also her outing in the PRIDYEDER episode of the first SHAKE RATTLE & ROLL. The mansion where she lives adds a horrifying atmosphere guided by the excellent production design by Fiel Zabat. We are introduced to her son played by Mark Gil and his wife Chanda Romero. A series of strange things occur in the house and Solis is being haunted by her traumatic past. The movie succeeds as a creepy ghost story, Santiago carved some shock value with the help of Gallardo in infusing some of the supernatural elements in the movie without going to omnibus, twin biller or a trilogy. There's the kulam and barang in a barrio, the unforgettable espiritista who doesn't get old played by Rosemarie Gil and daughter Cherie Gil and bombshell Rio Locsin wreaks havoc as a ghost before the finale of the movie. The ending is a blast in supernatural elements. Watch it at night with lights off and prepared for a scream. GABI NG LAGIM NGAYON can be seen on the archive of Cinema One.
