I like horror films but sometimes when it is too much I opt myself from watching. Of course there are certain factors or reasons why I rarely watch and the most is that I'm scared. Who wouldn't be, specially if the film is almost as real as it is. Perhaps one of the movie that I'll try not to excuse myself when invited is he latest movie from Jodi Sta. Maria, which is a true story of Clarita. She is the very first recorded possession incident happened in Manila, Philippines.

To give you bits of details why Clarita is interesting to watch.

• 1. The movie Clarita is based on a true to life story of girl named Clarita who is the first ever recorded spiritual possession in the Philippines. The incident happened during the 50s, 1953 to be exact.

• 2. In the movie, Jodi Sta. Maria plays the role of Clarita where she performs every scene without any double. The hanging and possession thing being thrown in the air is all hers, that is why she mentioned that this movie is very challenging for her. Also this is her first time to play this kind of role.

• 3. Aaron Villaflor plays as a priest and admitted that it was hard because of the prim, right and proper way of acting as a priest during that era. He also change his hairstyle 8nto kempee look.

• 4. The movie came about after the documentary created about Clarita and the story of her possession which was done on the other network. Also about the information from the Vatican that there are more recorded information about possession incidents through out the world.

• 5. The possession scenes of Jodi requires full face and body prosthetics. To get the face prosthetics they need to cover Jodi's face with just a whole for the nose to breath. Jodi is claustrophobic that when the prosthetics are being made Derictor Derick Cabrido need to assure that she's not alone by holding her hand. 

The movie Clarita is under Black Sheep, take note that the film outfit will take a short break from creating unique love stories and now venturing into horror film.
