As they try to survive, long-hidden secrets come to the surface, which prove to be an even greater threat than the zombies themselves.&quot;I&#x27;m excited. It&#x27;s a personal film; there&#x27;s nothing to be nervous about,&quot; said Lucero, who played the role of Francis. &quot;We&#x27;re just excited to show what we&#x27;ve been working on for the entire month and the rest of the production for a year.&quot;&quot;It&#x27;s a great caricature of every family in this country. We all have drama within our families, and this film shines a light on that kind of problem, especially here in the Philippines where mental health awareness isn&#x27;t widely talked about,&quot; he added.Gonzales, for her part, welcomes the pressure that comes with the film.&quot;I&#x27;m eager to hear the audience&#x27;s comments, because the movie is like black and white, walang spoon-feeding. The viewers will have to figure things out for themselves,&quot; she said.While the film centers around the outbreak, it also tackles deeper issues like mental health, a theme close to Lucero&#x27;s heart.&quot;When I read the script, I knew the writer wanted to address something very personal, particularly mental health. In my own family, I could probably map out who has what. Here in the Philippines, mental health awareness isn&#x27;t such a big deal. A few years ago, we even had a leader saying, &#x27;Ano ba ang depression? Edi maging masaya ka,&#x27; without understanding that it&#x27;s a real issue. The movie explores how mental health affects us and future generations. A child&#x27;s behavior could be traced back through the family—was it their mother, their father? It&#x27;s an ongoing cycle, and it&#x27;s such an important topic to discuss,&quot; he said.Meanwhile, director Carlo Ledesma is looking forward to the response of international audiences, as &quot;Outside&quot; is a Netflix Original.&quot;What really excites me is that it&#x27;s not just a Netflix Philippines production, but a Netflix Original, which means it will be released globally. It&#x27;s thrilling for me and for the cast because this film will be seen by people all over the world,&quot; he said.<div></div>
