VIVA Films lets all hell break loose in this newest horror film Bahay na Pula, directed by award-winning director Brillante Mendoza; and starring Xian Lim, Marco Gumabao and Julia Barretto.
Bahay na Pula is about the newlyweds Jane (Julia Barretto) and Marco (Xian Lim), who travel to Mindoro to sell the ancestral house that Jane inherits from her grandmother. The caretaker gives them a tour around the property, but Jane suddenly feels strange upon reaching the basement. That night, the couple make love to one another when suddenly, Jane notices that someone seems to be peeping at them.
The next day, Jane and Marco were informed that the buyer of the property backs out, because the Municipal Council passes a resolution starting the process of declaring the ancestral house as a National Historic Site. Jane tries to talk to the Municipal Mayor to convince him to veto the council resolution. But to her surprise, her ex-boyfriend Anton (Marco Gumabao), now the Mayor’s secretary, faces her. While they lobby together to reverse the council’s resolution, old flames start to rekindle. At the same time, evil is about to be born as Jane experiences horrifying events inside the ancestral house that lead to her tummy growing bigger and faster by the day, as if she was pregnant.
Bahay na Pula is definitely a must-see horror film that features an all-star cast - Xian Lim, Marco Gumabao and Julia Barretto. It is also a must-see how the award-winning director Brillante Mendoza, who rarely does a horror film, worked with the movie’s treatment. Direk
