A spine-tingling adventure awaits audiences this Christmas Day as the Philippines' first-ever meta found footage horror film debuts in theaters as an official entry for the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
"Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital" is turning heads, having recently been spotlighted by Hollywood's prestigious media outlet, Variety.
The film is an adaptation of the 2018 Korean box office hit "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum," which is based on a real psychiatric hospital located in Gwangju-si.
Brought to life by Reality MM Studios, the project has been officially announced as a thrilling entry for the highly anticipated 50th Metro Manila Film Festival.
Front and center is Enrique Gil, who joins forces with producers "Master of Horror" Erik Matti and industry veteran Dondon Monteverde to bring this thrilling project to life.
Joining the powerhouse lineup are Jane De Leon, Alexa Miro, Rob Gomez, and beauty queen-turned-actress MJ Lastimosa.
Adding an extra layer of thrill, they’ll be joined by real-life tarot reader Raf Pineda and content creator Ryan "Zarckaroo" Azurin.
Zarckaroo is a local video creator famous for capturing real footage from some of the region's most haunted and offbeat locations.
The suspenseful plot centers on a group of Filipino amateur ghost hunters who embark on an exploration of Xinglin Hospital, an eerie, abandoned site in Taiwan's West Central District.
Regarded by locals as one of Taiwan’s most haunted locations, the asylum is infamous for its persistent and unexplained paranormal phenomena.
Enrique Gil revealed that the script was just a guide, and the entire filming process was carried out by the cast, each wearing cameras on their heads, with no camera crew on set.
The newest horror flick will be available for viewing on Christmas Day, December 25.
The first official teaser for the film has been unveiled by Reality MM Studios, offering a chilling look at a group of ghost hunters ensnared in a haunting hospital.
