You know that feeling when a new Filipino horror film drops and you just know it’s going to be good? Well, get ready for that feeling to multiply. Viva Films and Evolve Studios are bringing us a brand-new psychological horror masterpiece, ‘Posthouse,’ and it’s not for the faint of heart.
This isn’t your typical jump-scare flick. It’s a deep dive into a dark, haunted past, led by an incredible creative team. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Nikolas Red, who you might know as the brilliant editor behind hits like Deleter and Eerie. And to make things even more exciting, he’s collaborating with his brother, the acclaimed director Mikhail Red, who’s serving as creative producer. You know you’re in for a cinematic treat when the Red brothers team up!
At the center of this chilling story is Cyril, played by the phenomenal Sid Lucero. He’s a film editor haunted by his mother’s unsolved murder and a supernatural encounter from his childhood. His life is a mess, and his relationship with his daughter, Rea (played by the talented Bea Binene), is strained.
But everything changes when a mysterious package of old reels lands on their doorstep, leading them to a project: restoring a silent film called ‘Ang Manananggal.’ What starts as a simple job quickly unravels into a terrifying curse. As they piece together the film, strange things start to happen: apparitions appear, reels vanish and reappear, and people start to die. The film isn’t just being restored; it’s being resurrected, and its dark force is bleeding into their reality.
Can they find the missing reel and the truth about the murder before the curse consumes them completely?
The cast is just as stellar as the team behind the camera. Sid Lucero‘s intense, layered acting is perfect for the tormented Cyril, while Bea Binene delivers a standout, emotionally grounded performance that shows a whole new side of her. They’re joined by versatile actors like Ryza Cenon, Rafa Siguion Reyna, and Andrea del Rosario, who all bring their A-game to this terrifying tale.
Mark your calendars! The nightmare begins on August 20 in cinemas nationwide. Get your tickets and get ready for a horror film that will mess with your mind long after the credits roll.
