“Lila” is a psychological-thriller by Gino M. Santos for this year’s Sinag Maynila Film Festival. “The film is my first horror film. It’s a challenge because we need to make the film as unique and as Filipino as possible,” he says.
The story is about Jess (Janine Gutierrez), a young woman running from her past who moves into the house of a warmhearted landlady. She finds a diary in her room that belonged to an old tenant. As days pass, strange occurrences ensue and the diary’s words take an eerie turn when Jess finds herself in the middle of a malevolent turn of events from a dark past not entirely her own.
Janine says, “I really like the story of Lila because it’s a mix of different genres – it’s not just horror or suspense. A lot of the ideas are left for the audience to figure out.”
The film also stars Enchong Dee, Sherry Lara, Miggs Cuaderno, Kate Alejandrino, and Socrates Jose.
