Horror movies are everywhere, and it’s just normal as Halloween nears. Who doesn’t love a good scare anyway?
Joining the hollow fest on Oct. 31 is Andi Eigenmann’s All Soul Night, a movie crafted in Yam Laranas’s imagination.
The movie follows the story of Shirley (Andi), an all-around house helper who answered an ad for a quick three-day job to take care of a sick man. Ellen, the inhospitable wife, readily tells her the three important house rules: First, keep the doors and windows shut; second, stay locked inside the house; and third, don’t get inside their room without permission.
Shirley shares a room with the couple’s young daughter and observes that the child is a terrified mess. She tells Ellen about it, only to be forbidden to interfere in whatever she sees going on around the house. After the child tells Shirley that the man is not her father, nerve-racking incidents one after another are revealed to her. And she will not be spared from it.
“I liked the story when they presented it to me and I really had fun doing it. Members of the cast are great artists and good people. Hindi basta senseless horror ‘yung movie namin na nananadyang manggulat at manakot. This one is creepy all throughout,” Andi guaranteed.
This film perfect for Halloween is co-directed by Aloy Adlawan and Jules Katanyag. Both had written the screenplays of some of the biggest horror movies in Philippine cinema.
Adlawan is known for his work in Ouija which was awarded PinakaPasadong Dulang Pampelikula at the 10th Pasado Gawad Sining Sine by the Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro, and the highly-acclaimed Signus, which won numerous awards, such as Best Foreign Film at the 2007 Lone Star International Film Festival in Texas and won Best International Thriller at the 2008 New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.
He also wrote Sundo, T2, Tumbok, Third Eye, and segments in Shake, Rattle and Roll movies.
On the other hand, Katanyag’s body of work as a writer includes Shake, Rattle and Roll (12 and 13), Bampirella (TV series, 2011), Darna (TV series, 2009), and Victor Magtanggol (TV series, 2018).
As a director, he won the Special Jury Prize in Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival for the movie Si Magdalola at ang mga Gago (2016).
Yam Laranas, who gave us the movie The Echo (also known as Sigaw, which won for him a Special Award at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film), serves as the Creative Head.
Presented by VIVA Films and ALIUD Entertainment, All Souls Night also stars Yayo Aguila, Allan Paule, and new child star, Lhian Gimeno.
