The story of Sukob is about a woman who was about to get married. She followed all the superstitious rules so they'll have a smooth sailing life together. Alas, they missed something.

Sukob’ has a certain edge from the usual horror flick with its good concept that promotes an interesting twist to keep the audience guessing where the bad luck is coming from. Slowly, the facts are unraveled. And the turn of events actually becomes both scary and funny from here. Viewers are willing victims of their own shrieks from the expected horror elements. Sukob scared me to death! While watching the movie, it’s as if I was really screaming for my life. You can only imagine how my friends felt when I was screaming. They’re ears almost bled, thanks to me. :p That’s how scary this movie is. Although the movie has some downsides, like for example…  Kris Aquino. Her face is full of nothing. Her emotion for scared,happy,frustrated,furious, and hungry is one and the same. But, that’s Kris Aquino. The movie is another thing of course. Good movie, not great though. Good thing there is Claudine Baretto to save the casting director of the movie from certain shame because of Kris Aquino. I'm sorry Kris, It's true.

Well, Sukob is not a bad Filipino film. It's engaging and surely a kind of film that would give you heebie-jeebies on a boring Friday night.
