WAG KANG LILINGON


Wag Kang Lilingon (a.k.a. Don't Look Back) is a 2006 Filipino horror film directed by Jerry Lopez Sinengneng and Quark Henares, and starring Anne Curtis and Kristine Hermosa.

Wag Kang Lilingon is divided into two stories: Uyayi and Salamin; however, at the end of the second segment, both stories are connected through a common character.

In Uyayi (Lullaby), a Filipino hospital has become famous due to the death of some of its male patients. Concerned about the incidents at the hospital, Melissa, one of the nurses, together with her boyfriend James, try to find out who the killer is and thus end the increasing number of deaths among the patients. Soon after, the segment will come to an end unveiling the apparent murderer and then the second part starts.

In Salamin (Mirror), a three member family, all females, a mother and her two daughters finally find a place to stay and call home in the rural provinces. Their new house is an old style colonial building that hasn't been inhabited for some years. Right after the three women enter their home the mother, Rosing, senses a strange smell of blood, but they don't pay much attention to it. Later on, Angel, the eldest daughter, discovers an old mirror in the basement; then she tells her young sister an old story that says that if you make a wish in front of a mirror at midnight by the candlelight you can be told the future and whomever you will marry. But instead of being told her future, Angel opens a portal to unleash spirits. As the story progresses, the three women will experience pure terror as they become haunted by ghosts.

The connection: the ending of the movie happens to work as the epilogue to Salamin and a prologue to Uyayi.
