VERY VERY TERRIBLE. Sadly, I can't give a negative star. When I first heard of the movie, I thought that it was really great that finally one of my childhood nightmares had a horror movie of its own. I was excited to see it, until I actually saw it. I had to sit through the whole thing as I was forced to watch it with my cousin. I know this is a horror movie, but both my cousin and I had laughed far, far more than when I had watched the best comedy movies because of its absurdity. This could actually pass for one of those movies one makes in high school for a class project. Heck, I've made better movies using Windows Movie Maker. The camera angles weren't at all right; the 'special effects' were specially bull, the story did not make sense – what the hell was with that rape scene, I mean, WTF? – actors don't have an PEASIZE OF IDEA of what acting is. There ISN'T even an OUNCE OF THRILL whatsoever! There is no point to watching this movie. I don't think a single movie could ever outmatch this trash you call a film. People deserve the truth – this is mine. Please don't watch this.

Maria Labo is one the worst film ever made by Filipino. In the vein of Plan 9 From Outerspace and The Room, it deserve a cult following. It's a horror dra movie turned riot comedy. It's based on a true legend of Aswang. The concept is literary scary but the film is hilariously funny at best. The acting is hilariously bad, watch-out for unintentional language, Maria's accent is overrated. There are many scenes full stupidity that it feels like a gag. I laughed throughout the film. The direction is solidly terrible that the director don't know where the story is going. So as the production.Over all it's a film I recommend to watch with your friends.It maybe awful but it's awfulness is satisfying at best!

It's a movie that set back Philippine cinema decades. It's so bad I would rather sit through a root canal. This is a story of an urban myth that an overseas Filipino worker got infected or possessed by a demon, coming back to her home country half person half monster. There are numerous scenes that left me wondering why it was part of the movie (pool scene), and the editing was so bad some of the dialogue was not dubbed properly. The story had potential if only the filmmakers knew what to do.The makeup was bad, the props were bad, the details were all wrong. What is even worse is that the story did not have to literally show a monster, the director could have just shown a change in behavior but then subtleties like that can only be managed by real filmmakers. Why did I watch this? simply because I watch almost all films when I have the time and I just had the misfortune of sitting through this one.
