Here’s what Jodi Sta Maria said about her upcoming film.
In-demand ABS-CBN actress Jodi Sta Maria makes her first horror film with Regal and here’s what she said about it.
We grew up watching horror films and there are several reasons why we love watching this kind of movie despite the theme. There’s the thrill, the adrenaline rush, the exploration, the excitement, the catharsis, psychological engagement, and creative storytelling.
For the first time in the career of Jodi Sta. Maria, she did a horror film with Regal Film and she was thrilled. She grew up watching “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” and “Regal Shocker” and since then, she promised to do one horror film with Regal and it did happen.
The film is called “Untold” and this is accordingly different from the previous horror films she did before.
Her past films were ghost-centered just like “Clarita” in 2019 with Direk Derek Cabrido but this one now is more on psychological tension. It had a good script and story that made her accept it and she believes there’s something to ponder from the film just like “what are you willing to give in exchange for your soul”.
It has a tagline “Matakot ka sa sarili mo” and this stands for everyone who has their inner demon. She believes in this and those things within ourselves that we won’t want to be unleashed.
“Ako I truly believe that we all have demons, mayroon tayong mga bagay sa sarili natin na ayaw natin lumabas, may mga bagay tayo sa sarili natin na gusto natin I-deny ayaw natin I-acknowledge and once that ‘demon’ is tapped and then tama matakot ka sa sarili mo,” she said.
Kaori Oinuma, Juan Karlos Labajo, and Gloria Diaz are also a part of the upcoming film.
Meanwhile, apart from the film, Jodi is also doing “Lavender Fields“, an action-drama series that tackles love, vengeance, and family. She works with Jericho Rosales, Janine Gutierrez, Jolina Magdangal, Albert Martinez, Edu Manzano, and Maricel Soriano in this series.
