Anak ng dilim (Child of Darkness) proves that director Nick Lizaso and writer Bong Ramos know that if you're going to copy, copy from the best. Based on Carrie, this Philippines-shot horror movie is pretty much the same story. A young girl named Adela (Gladys Reyes) tries to go to public school and all the cool kids pick on her, yet she gets no love at home from her aunt Magda (Amy Austria).
"Pagtatawanan ka nilang lahat," you know?
Where this differs from the Carrie we know and love is that there's also a grandmother named Lola Pura (Gina Pareno) who is locked in the attic by the evil aunt and at the end, as Magda tries to strangle Adela with a chain, the old woman drags her evil daughter into hell and we get a happy ending.
Yes, Adela just got pig's blood all over her and destroyed the school.
We still get a happy ending. Not as many split screens, though.
