Pwera Usog is a movie I could consider a Horror-Comedy, utilizing the 'surprise factor' of a typical horror story among others. The comedy part comes comes mostly from how the actors acted their respective characters.

The story of Pwera Usog uses a lot of flashbacks to drive the main story forward. With this, the story is able to connect its characters which is probably the most enjoyable part of the story. Even the side characters, Jean's friends, especially Val, is tied to the flashback. I like that. However, Val's potential as a character stopped as soon as the story behind her character is revealed. Poor Val is not even included in the epilogue. The climax of the story is worth to mention though. The cliche "main character saves the day" gives Jean her redeeming moment when she was able to save Luna by sacrificing her self to let Luna leave and live. This also gives Quintin an opening to finally make things right and start thinking for himself, being able to save Jean on time, contrary to what happened with his mother, and at the same time, being able to finally decide for himself. As for Sherwin? Well, I do believe he is more there for comedic relief.

One other character I could consider to have contributed to the comedic part of the story is Quintin's mother, played by Aiko Melendez. Actually, her mere presence contributed a lot to it. I do believe that Aiko's character is supposed to be a serious one but the way she acted made the character unserious, in a way.

I don't think I could rewatch this in full ever again. Nothing extraordinary, definitely your average horror (comedy) supernatural film.
