People’s National Artist Nora Aunor confronts National Artist (Theatre) Rolando Tinio in this insanely brilliant scene.
Given for the first time a character that kills without remorse, she (Nora Aunor) responds to the challenge with an inherent sense of good drama. Nora peels off layer after layer of Helen’s insanity, gathering in force like a whirling dervish of dementia until she is finally consumed by her own madness. When she arrives at that moment-in an altar skirmish with Tinio-the power that she unleashes is so overwhelming that she is at once both absolutely terrifying and utterly convincing about the rightness of her lust to collect a blood debt.- Gerard Ramos, “Memories of Madness,” Today Magazine, 17
