Strange Frequencies: Taiwan Killer Hospital is ready to scare audiences at the upcoming 50th Metro Manila Film Festival.

Being a huge fan of the horror genre, the Kapamilya star expressed his eagerness to star in the film.“For how many years, I haven’t been doing any MMFF movies and projects. But this year, I couldn’t say no–– it was too good to pass on and too exciting,” he shared.Apart from being a cast member of the upcoming film, Enrique will be a co-producer alongside renowned director and “Master of Horror” Erik Matti with veteran filmmaker Dondon Monteverde. This is the second film that he produced with the first being his comeback film earlier this year, I Am Not Big Bird.When asked if there was any pressure on their end as this is a local adaptation, he admitted there were some but it wouldn’t be an hindrance on giving it the Filipino flavor of horror and thrill.“Yeah, but that’s why it’s a Filipino adaptation so it’s our own take on the movie. It has to be a little different, it can’t be the same so by that fact alone, I’m not really pressured at all,” he said.In the Philippine adaptation, film and television actor Enrique Gil (played by Enrique) will lead the group of real-life personalities including actress Jane De Leon, Alexa Miro, Rob Gomez, beauty queen MJ Lastimosa, alongside tarot reader Raf Pineda and content creator Ryan “Zarckaroo” Azurin.Together, the group will be exploring the infamous Xinglin Hospital, an abandoned building located in the West Central District of Taiwan. This place is considered as one of the most haunted places in Taiwan due to the paranormal activities happening there.Strange Frequencies is dubbed as the country’s first-ever meta found footage horror film that will surely get the audience wanting for more. The film is set to screen in cinemas nationwide starting this December 25.
